Default Duralast Battery date code

Bought the car in March.
2013 GS. Currently has a Duralast battery in it.
Can anyone decode the date from the picture?
Thanks

Nope , you need the sticker on the side of the battery.

I agree. There is usually a small sticker placed somewhere with a code to determine the age of the battery.

Agree....look for this little sticker.... a month and date of manufacture.

If you are the original buyer, Autozone should have the sale date in their system which is when the warranty starts.

If you're going in to purchase a new one, ask them to check the date sticker and bring out the newest one they have, last time I went in they brought one out that was a year and a half old already.
On a good note, the Duralast Gold that came with my car was 9 years old when I had to replace it recently.
