If you have interest in cart, I would get a decent mechanic to look it over. If you need a name PM me.
I have only owned 3 carts (including a 2000 Par Car) and I have never experienced HOT batteries, so this may not help much. My batteries warm during use and charging, but I would never describe mine as hot, i,e, I cannot hold my hand on them. Batteries make a boiling noise at the end of charging, but to my feel I still would not decribe them as HOT. Couple of random thoughts....
How hot is HOT? You mean you cannot touch them?
Do the batteries have the proper amount of water in them?
Are the cables between batteries hot?
Does this happen every time? I am wondering if they had not been charged for a while when you first charged.
If it happens every time, I would be suspicious of battery condition, then wires and their connections, then the charger.
As far as the date codes, I have only owned two type of batteries, Trojan and US Battery. Both have the manufacture date stamped on a terminal. You should see something like B9. The B is the month, the 9 is the year, so B9 would be February of 2009. For the month letter, A is Jan, B is Feb, C is Mar, and so on
Good luck.
