Stop in for a cup of coffee

Actually it’s common, when i worked in parts lots of customers would insist the battery is 2 years old when in fact many of them were over 5 years. It’s a phenomenon.
I just in august bought two new ones, the first two the guy brought out had a manufacturer date of April 2020… they only have a 3 year warranty dated to date of manufacture, so they were already out of warranty. So I made him dig through the stack and newest we could find was a pair made in October of 2022.
