Charge Up Those "New" Batteries

These 6s in the OP, which I believe are Deka GC15s, each have an English/French sticker on top which says in English, "Ship Code M19, Recharge by 06/20" Another sticker down low on the end says 11/19, which is usually the build date AFAIK. No code stamped in the post like a Trojan, eg.
The markings on their cases say:

Rolls has its own system for batch numbers

Another sticker on them says, "Filled with acid UN 2794" That would be a UN regulation for Wets. Lithium has another number, eg.
