Stop in for a cup of coffee

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.
Thats not good. Inventory control/stock rotation is important when it comes to batteries. Oct of 22 tells me its not only in store where problem is. And if the date on battery is when warranty starts, price should drop daily. Someone is mistaken on that part.
