How do I tell how old my golf cart batteries are?

Posted by Andrew Kephart on February 28, 2022

If you own a golf cart, it's important to know how to decipher the date code on your battery. Golf cart batteries have a limited lifespan, and understanding the age of your batteries can help you plan for replacement and ensure proper maintenance. In this article, we'll discuss how to tell golf cart battery date codes.

Step 1: Locate the Date Code on Your Battery

The first step in deciphering your golf cart battery date code is to locate it. Most golf cart batteries have a date code stamped on the battery case. The date code will be a combination of letters and numbers, and it will be located either on the top or the side of the battery case.

Step 2: Decipher the Date Code

Once you've located the date code, you'll need to decipher it. The date code will typically be in the form of a letter followed by a number. The letter indicates the month that the battery was manufactured, and the number indicates the year.

For example, if the date code on your golf cart battery is "G6", the "G" stands for July, and the "6" indicates the year the battery was manufactured, which is 2016.

Here is a list of the letters and their corresponding months:

A - January B - February C - March D - April E - May F - June G - July H - August I - September J - October K - November L - December

Step 3: Determine the Age of Your Battery

Once you've deciphered the date code, you can determine the age of your golf cart battery. The age of your battery is determined by subtracting the year of manufacture from the current year.

For example, if the date code on your golf cart battery is "G6" and the current year is 2023, then your battery is seven years old (2023 - 2016 = 7).

Step 4: Assess the Condition of Your Battery

Knowing the age of your golf cart battery is important, but it's also important to assess its condition. The age of your battery is just one factor that can affect its performance. Other factors include how often you use your golf cart, how well you maintain your battery, and how you charge your battery.

If your golf cart battery is more than five years old, it's a good idea to have it checked by a professional. A professional can assess the condition of your battery and determine whether it needs to be replaced. If your battery is less than five years old, you can assess its condition yourself by checking the water level and the connections.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, understanding how to tell golf cart battery date codes is an important part of owning a golf cart. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can determine the age of your battery and assess its condition. This information can help you plan for replacement and ensure proper maintenance, which can save you money in the long run. Remember to always follow the manufacturer's recommendations for maintaining and charging your golf cart battery to ensure the best performance and lifespan.
