Most batteries have a code stamped on the lead post. It is a letter and a number. The letter A B C D E F etc stands for the month. A = January B = February and so on. The number 0 through 9 indicates the year. 0 means 2010, 1 + 2011, 3 = 2013 etc. So a G 2 would mean July 2012. Batteries last at best 5 years and can fail in as soon as 3 years. Figure 4 years. So if they are 2010 or older you will need a new set soon. There are 3 popular battery configurations. Most are 48 volt. Don't even consider a 36 volt. Confgurations are 4 12 volt (just OK), 6 8 volt (better) and 8 6 volt (best). Club Car, EZ Go and Yamaha are the more popular models.
