I agree. My experience has been if there is no other proof of purchase such as a receipt then they will use the date of manufacture for warranty purposes. One of the failed batteries I had was barely within the 2 year warranty period from the date I purchased it and I know the date of manufacture was older than that. I have been an Interstate dealer for over 20 years and the distributor I buy from apparently wants to keep me happy. When it comes right down to it if I sell a product that my supplier won't warranty I will take the loss and keep my customer happy but I won't have to worry about product from the source again.
