Narrative:
On feb/thu/00, I performed the daily check of the ZZZ battery shop. I saw 3 batteries axyz that were not on charge. The batteries had an expiration date on them of feb/mon/00, which I took for the correct date. However, on feb/sat/00, it was brought to my attention that the wrong date was put on the batteries from the overhaul date on the parts tag.
