What's my battery date

I can't figure it out.

The day it was made, or expires?

Part 1

71G08 is stamped on the rim



Part 2

also at the bottom has 1 to 12 with 10 crossed out

and also 08 to 12 with 09 crossed out

It says recharge next to it

so does that mean it's expired in October 2009?



Cheers lads and lasses
