These are the numbers on the battery near the positive terminal AA28 so can anyone figure out what year and month this battery is from by these numbers?
I have not lifted the battery out of the vehicle to look for other numbers.
So how old is this sucker, it's a white BMW battery.
I'm pretty sure this is transport mode.

If it is a white BMW battery, then it will have a status eye on the top. It's a greenish clear plastic lenz if the battery is is good state, black if it is not. If the battery were bad the car would not start or be slow cranking.
If you want to decipher the date code, you need to find it first. It's stamped on the edge of the battery top most likely. You can google how to read the code. AA28 could mean January 2012.
