If you buy a used cart, and it happens to have Trojan batteries (they used to have the majority of the market for all fleet golf carts), there's a quick and easy way to determine how old they are.

The letter corresponds to the month:
A - January
B - February
C - March
D - April
E - May
F - June
G - July
H - August
I - September
J - October
K - November
L - December
The digit represent the last digit of the year.
So in my case, my batteries are dated October, 2018. Other brands of batteries often have a date sticker on them.

They are heavy, but it's a pretty straight forward job otherwise. Happy shopping!
