Can our BATTERY age be verified?
I think we've all wondered if our original battery (if you bought your car new) was really the original one, since most later Xfires from mid 2005 to 2008 sat on a pier on the East coast for approx. 1 1/2 yrs. Does anyone know if by writing down all of the numbers from the battery itself weather a "dealer or? " could look up the production date of that particular battery? My car by production date will be 4 yrs old this Nov., but the spec. gravity in all 6 cells is right at the same level exactly (1250) This is not a usual reading for a four yr. battery especially is it sat the first 1 1/2 yrs dormant. One or two cells should have started to drop off noticeably by now. I bought the car in Apr. 2007 & kind of feel this might have been a new install to get the sale going.!!
