The battery was stamped July 2005
as a manufacture date.
I guess I just got unlucky with the alternators. The thing was I was soo picky. There first one I bought had a bent shaft so I returned it, the second one made a wierd noise when it turned.
The third was was no wierd noise and a straight shaft... and then it blew.
I got to get them to these things under heavy load when testing.
