Default How Old Is My Battery?

Vehicle: 2013 Porsche C2S Cabrio.
I'm the third owner, having purchased it 1-1/2 years ago. I still have 6 months left on the CPO warranty and I'm slowly getting it just the way I want it.
I recall reading a thread a while back about battery operation: voltage range when running, lifespan, etc. but I can't find it using the search function. I though one respondent wrote that the date of the battery's manufacturer is stamped on the battery post, but my memory is not so great. If this is correct, my battery was manufactured in week 35 of 2012 per the attached photo?? If so, I think it's ready for replacement, despite the fact that it's not giving me any trouble.
Any input would be appreciated.

I am in the exact same boat, 2013 with an orginal battery. Picked up an Interstate at Costco - seemed like cheap insurance.

Post 3 here discusses battery date: https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...tery-date.html

I’d replace even if it’s not giving you issues.
