how old

[thebigone]

Hi folks, from a cold but fresh and sunny UK south coast.

I think my battery may be on the way out, from what has been told to me.

I was wondering if I could find out how old my battery is??

Information on the battery is:

Type.YTZ14S MF.......Which accourding to Yuasa is the correct one for the bike.

On top a #1248

emposed on the side; 18030946

Thank you

chris

On a quick Google search, I found-

Your number doesn't match the format exactly (1 extra digit), but if you eliminate your first number (1), which would make it comply with UK coding, this chart suggests 09 Mar 2008.
