Batteries have a date code stamped into the top of the battery normally around one of the corners. It may have a letter and then number something like A8 which would mean January 2008 or C9 which would be March 2009. Interstate batteries use this particular code. Other battery manufacturers may use a different type code or they may just stamp the date in plain English.

Where do you buy a battery?

Assuming you have an old car battery and need a new one: remove old battery by disconnecting battery terminals and removing any and all brackets holding battery to battery pan or rack. Take the old battery in to a parts shop like NAPA Auto Parts, Checker Auto Parts, O'Riley Auto Parts etc. or Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Sears etc., any where which sells auto batteries. Tell the clerk you want a replacement battery. They will then get you the battery you need, you will pay for it, less the "core deposit", and they will take your old battery for recycling. If you do not have an old battery to trade in, you need to know what kind of vehicle you have (make model and year; example: 1999 Ford F-150), or if not using the battery for a vehicle you must know what type of battery you need. Tell the clerk this information and they will get you a battery which meets your needs however you will end up paying the full amount because you have no old battery to trade in for the "core deposit" refund.
