Replaced my factory battery on my 21 Subaru Outback with an Odyssey group 47 AGM from Auto Zone. After running it for a day I just noticed a “August 2020” manufacturing code.
Close to 3.5 years old. Odyssey website recommends a shelf life of roughly 2 years before reaching 50% charge and needing a top off. Should I return the battery? It was the only one in stock and full of thick dust. I highly doubt it was maintained in the store. Anyways the battery started my Subaru flawlessly when installed. I’ll probably email the manufacturer too.
