The date should be on the battery for warranty either on a sticker or stamped into the posts. If your in the west of Melbourne my mate runs a after hours mobile battery shop and he can test it for free.

Hi mate. I will get the battery tested at repco as its only 5 mins away from my place. But thanks anyway.

Ok. So i went to repco and found out that my battery is ok buts its been drained. The guy that works at repco told me that there was nothing wrong with the battery but their is something in the car that's had a feast of the battery for the passed 10 months. I bought a new multimeter from there today so i wanted to see how much DCA i was getting only to realize i had blown the fuse by first connecting the pins then turning it on (NEVER DO THAT) so i still don't know if my DCA is under .70 or over. Then i went to super cheap (just a few shops down) and they told me that the battery is drained. They also told me that they can replace it. so tomorrow morning im going to the bank and getting a statement from 10 months ago. I will make another post tomorrow night and tell you guys whats going on, but i will still be reading your replys and getting back to you.

So why are you replacing the battery if it tested okay?

The battery was drained so i had to get a new one.
Something in the car drained the battery.

Then charge it and fix what is draining the battery, no point in replacing the battery. Its just going to go flat like your current one.
