Date code on battery

Trying to find an answer to the date code stamped onto the top of my Delco battery by the negative post.
Letters are CORG.
Maybe somebody has better luck than me that can solve this puzzle.
Thanks

Then perhaps the CORG isn't what you think it is.

Then there is this from the Urban Dictionary:
Urban Dictionary: Corg

Why do you think it is the date code?

Letters where stamped or melted into the case. I have dealt with Interstate battery and they will "brand" the date code onto the top when you buy a battery from them.
I bought my SS used from a Chevy dealer that certified the car and I was wondering if possibly a replacement Delco was installed at that time.

I'm pretty sure that after-market Delco batteries are contract deals. Could be from any factory.

So the mystery continues or it becomes a dead end.

You aren't under the impression that "Certified Pre-Owned" means anything beyond an extended warranty that You pay $750 for are you. That x point inspection is just pure B.S.

After I found out that my 2008 was almost totalled and sold "Certified" They refunded $750 that they admitted at the time is the premium above Blue Book. Their inspection didn't notice the fender bolts with no paint on them, they took the auto auction's word for it.

The moral of the story is: Make them fix even the smallest problems before the warranty expires.
