DeWalt Battery Date Of Manufacture

[77Ford01]

I am sure this has been discussed....but My OCD is getting the best of me and I started worrying about the longevity of my batteries.

Can any one explain the date code of when this battery was made?

Is May 1, 2015 correct? [emoji38]

Thanks TW

Except that it would make more sense to use 1-7 for days because it's not going by months

blame canada lol

[RickyMcGrath]

I believe it to be Year - Day of Month - Week of year. So that's 26 Nov 2015.

[Kainam]

That would be incorrect.  I just received 2 batteries with the date stamp of 2016 16-47 4-2 and 2016 15-47 5-2.

 

The week of 47 has not arrived yet.

I am still looking for the answer myself. I should see a DeWalt rep in a week, I hope to ask him [emoji3]

OK, if the second number is the day of the month what about mine? 2017-33-49 1-7 and 2017-35-49 1-6

Could just be a lot code from that production load for tracking purposes

Im not fully sure.But looking for years and asking people from service centre in Poland i assume that code

201y ww-mm x-z

201y is year

ww-production week

mm-manufacture code

x-z still dont know what that code means.

so the example 2015 26-47

is

2015 year

26 week

47 manufacture code - China or PRC

47 code is marked on Dwe4257,Dcd791,Dch481 (on label is PRC as production facility)

No. Dewalt doesn't have any factory in Poland. Maybe the main magazine for Europe is in Poland, bigger one is in Belgium. The nearest factory is in Chech Republic - DCD792 is produced and some of SDS+/SDS Max hammers.

I have a hardware shop - tools, hand tools, power tools, fixings other stuff and we have rental - tools for rent, and also service for tools - specially for Dewalt- Authorised Service for Dewalt. Battery regeneration - new cells and somethimes the pcb.

 

I ike wery much power tools and other things related with it. I'd like to know what is happening in the brand/industry. So...I'm reading this forum and toolguyd forum ... looking for the new tools or some other things that maybe be realesed in europe.

I like Dewalt very much...but somethimes Dewalt (i'm sorry) sucks - Vacuums for sure

 

From Dewalt company I met the German engineer from Idstein and SAG-small angle grinder developer (i think) form UK ...both meetings was a bit lucky.

 

Sorry for my English...it can be a bit rusty

@Przemek, your English is fine. 😊 But to throw another head scratcher into your explanation of the last two digits of the date code, where for yours is 47 for a manufacture code of China, I have two new batteries with one having 2019 17-49 and the other 2019 33-49. The first was manufactured in Korea but the second manufactured in Malaysia. So, the question becomes, what does the 49 represent?

[Przemek(Poland)]

I found a note/memo with explanation of date code from march 2018 - year week - manufacture code

I don't remember what 49 means. But on the label of the battery (underneath) is usually Korea and Japan - cell manufacture.

 

I need to check all codes on my tools and create list to crosscheck with labels. Maybe i will find some time to create it.

 

EDIT: i found od DWE6423 sander, and others

49 - code for Mexico DCG412/DCS367/DWE6423/DCS334

47 - PRC China

59 - Chech Republic -DCH283, DCH273

11 - Italy - D25960/961-16kg hex hammers, DW622/621-routers

UB - PRC China flaschligst,DCV517

The date of manufacture on your tool it's called date code, It starts with "20XX - XX", and first you'll see the year, and the number after the dash is the week of that year when the product was manufactured. If you have any other questions, please let us know. Regards,
