    A battery question

    From what I understand, the first part of the code should be a letter - D, A or N - which is day, afternoon or night shift, second is the day of the month, the first letter, the month, and the last letter the year. Year codes started at A in 2007, B in 2008, etc. If my Math is correct then K is 2017. Q means it's passed quality control.

    Could the O be a D? Not sure if this still applies to the newer batteries but that's how it used to be.

    If it's a D, then D - Day shift, 8 - 8th day, C - of March, K - 2017. But you saying you bought the battery in 2016 doesn't line up here so things may have changed.

    EDIT - The letter 'I' may have been skipped in the year code to avoid confusion by the looks of it, so that would make it a March 2016 battery that being the case.

    Cheers.
