Where do you find the Manufactored date

[Ken2step]

Have you checked the Retail Packaging ?


Alkalines and NiMHs often have it printed on package,
in a much-easier-to-read format.

I checked the package and the batteries. I might of missed it so I will look again. They are Eneloops from MyBatterySupplier at Amazon.
Thanks,

Side of each battery.

It's clear and very hard to see .

Light has to hit it just right - and use a magnifier lens .

Runs the length of the batt.

Russel submitted an excellent image of the Eneloop's date code in this post Ken2step:

The 1st and 2nd digits represent the year the cell was manufactured, the 3rd and 4th represent the month, and it's generally believed the last two characters represent a batch code.

As indicated in the image, the code is situated along the longitudinal axis of the cell immediately above the seam of its jacket.

Ok!! Now I see why I could not find it....with my eyes I would certainly need a magnifying glass and know exactly where to look as I would not have ever looked for CLEAR stamping! Thanks very much for this information.
cheers,
