asked on

Did I get a refurbished sealed lead battery for my ups uninterruptible power supply

I bought a replacement sealed battery for a UPS.  It had a date code stamped on the side sayin something like 66bd11.  Date code meaning 66th day of 2011?   But on top is a 1313 stamped in also. That is on the top surface and looks like it could be a cover sort of.   Like the took the cover off, put in new / reconditioned lead / electrolyte put cover back on and stamped cover with more current date?  

I called dealer abou the side date code and they said they Are sending me another battery ( I didn't mention the 1313 date code

Ever hear of refurbished lead batteries?  I paid 16 total for 12v 7 amp battery.  Seems reconditioning isn't worth the trouble?

Right.  Old stock.  But it does have the 1313 stamped on the top surface and they have no clue how to read the date code let alone explain why there are 2 different codes : )
