If the September delivery happens in mid-august, and there's room on the shelf, they'll put the batteries out. | |

| Oct 2, 2016 at 20:54 | comment | added | barbecue | Your question is not clear. Are you asking about your specific battery? If so, the manufacturer of the battery is critical information. The number 3216 could mean anything, without knowing the manufacturer, it's impossible to guess what it might be. Assuming you're correct about the date code, it would probably be the date of manufacture. | |
