    Good day mag Mams/Sirs,

    Can you help us locate and read battery codes? Yung manufacturing date sana. Salamat in advance. I bought an AC Delco S54459 car battery.

    something like date of manufacture should be readily read-able in the battery's case and/or stickers and/or documents.

    Locate the dot matrix stamp on your car battery. There should be one. It's an alphanumeric code. I bought the same battery last year.

    Here's how to decode your AC Delco battery's date stamp.

    Ex. KH5I24 - The third character (number) refers to the year of manufacture, 5 is 2015. 4th character (letter) corresponds to the month, I is September. The last 2 characters (numbers) corresponds to the day. In this example, KH5I24 was manufactured in September 24, 2015.

    I am not entirely sure what the first two letters stand for. Best guess is the factory code where the battery was manufactured.

    Hth. Cheers!

    I've read somewhere that oftentimes the letter "I" is not used. Reason for skipping to next letter "J"; letter I can often be misread as the number 1. I can be mistaken though 😩

    Hi!
    Ngayon ko lang nakita thread na ito.

    Meron ako production code finder for AC Dwlco. Pero malamang depende sa region kung saan manufactured yun battery. Middle East yun sa akin.

    Pero we can try.

    Sa production code po ng AC Delco check nyo po yun naka ukit sa battery at hinde sya printed. Un mismo naka ukit sa bandang top ng body na parang inukit ng mainit na bagay sa ibabaw ng plastic.

    Normally starts with “P” or “S” followed by four numbers. Yun code nyo po na binigay is five numbers kaya ayaw lumabas. Unless na lang yan ang code talaga dito sa region natin.
