The date code is right there stamped in the (+) lead terminal. I cannot make it out from the pic but get a close-up and I can.

Here it is in a nut shell - there will be three (3) stamps on it. 1- will be a number for the year (6='16, 3='13, etc) 2- a letter will be the month (B=February, G=July, etc.) 3- another letter for the factory it was built in. (these are all manufacturer specific) Let us know what you see or post a close-up pic for help.

Gregorio- the stamping on the corner is the manufacturer's details. Factory, crew, shift, lead batch, etc.

And I think I can make out a "D" and a "2". If that is correct, they are April - 2012 batteries.

2A92D3 is what that stamp says next to the positive terminal.

Yes, the 2 passenger side batteries are gurgling a little (not overflowing) but the 2 drivers side ones are not making any noise at all

You probably have one battery that is causing your issue. Not that it matters because if you do, youll want to change them all.

Simple test is to charge the cart, use it as you normally would, and then test the batteries under a load with a digital meter. Post those numbers here.

Doubt its a bad charger- that's rare.

Not that one, the one in the lead terminal post. Where your battery cable hooks up, there is a round lead pad; in that round lead pad are a couple of stamped markings. Those are the ones needed. What are they?

And gurgling is normal from the batteries.

Update: I let the batteries sit for 12 hrs after a full charge and tested them and these are the numbers i got.

Battery bank- 50.3
Battery 1 - 12.6
Battery 2 - 12.5
Battery 3 - 12.3
Battery 4 - 12.5

Here is the lead pad. Looks like a Z and a 1 and a 2.

That's not dead, not great, but definitely operable. The biggest thing would be where does the voltage go under load.

You have determined they will take a charge, but now you need to see how well it can/will sustain it under load usage. (How far the voltage drops down and where it recovers too.) You have 50.3 now, but does it drop to 42/43 or does it drop to 34/35 and continuously drop voltage which in turns causes amperage increases. Try to hook your volt meter to it and then go for a ride.
