I've acquired a 2001 S40 "pre-owned". It has a Volvo-branded battery installed. Looks to be in excellent shape, but looks can deceive. I want to determine the battery age but I see no date codes on the case. Should there be some codes and how does one decipher them?

thanks

Volvo batteries usually last about 5 years, so you probably have a good battery. Unlike American batteries, the Volvo ones do not come with a year/month sticker, there is no way to tell how old it is. Unless the dealer can read the bar code and the production date is part of it.

The 164 has a new home, all I am left with are a 95 854T and a 98 V70R :)
