Battery Age web site have this information about Kenwood LMR batteries:
KNB-16A 0502F May 2002? 7+ years old battery
KNB-17A 0207F Feb 2007? 7+ years old battery
KNB-52N 1008F Oct 2008? 5+ years old battery
But what to do with these batteries?
KNB-52N 7302Н 5-6 years old battery
KNB-17A 9907 10+ years old battery
What to do with 73 and 99 prefixes? They can't be month or week #.
And why 02 but not 12 for just 5-6-years old battery?
Okay, sounds good and looks like work for some of my batteries:All batteries are stamped with a 4 digit date code. The first 2 digits are the month the battery was manufactured, and the last 2 digits are the year. So a battery with a date code of 0801 would have been manufactured in August of 2001.
