This battery was installed and bought new ~2 yrs ago, I was told.But the colored circular 'Date Code' was 11/12. Almost 4 1/2 yrs old. It was old when she bought it.... Batteries can sit around in shops growing old, folks. Buy a fresh battery by looking for that 'Manufactured on date code'.</blockquote>
