I brought this battery of Facebook. The seller doesn't have good English, hardly replies and lives in another city so I can't get to him. So therefore I came here for help. I have searched all xgo batteries, but none seem to be in this colour and the seller listed it as 48v 13ah, but I suspect it to be 36v for some reason. Please can someone help we with this. It does not say the volts or anything like that on the battery. I have attached a few pics. I would really appreciate any feedback . Thank you.
Is this battery real and is it 48v or 36v

If you remove the battery from the battery holder, it might list the voltage & ah rating & such on the battery. Only other thing is to check it with a voltmeter once charged.

I'm not sure what the op is asking. Do you want reassurance that this is a quality battery or simply the voltage? As mentioned above, use a voltmeter to determine the voltage at the battery leads (be sure that the battery switch is turned on before checking voltage).
From the label in the picture it seems to indicate 48v 10ah
Found this listing:
Does it smell like a 48V battery?
You could test it with a bathroom scale. You could ask some elementary school children what voltage it is.
You could take it apart and count the series connections.
OR - YOU COULD STICK A GOSHDARN VOLTMETER IN IT AND GET SOME ACTUAL USEFUL INFORMATION.
Try not to hurt yourself.

Wow...kind of a harsh reply....no need for that.

If the label is true, it is a 48 Volt 10 Amp hour battery. Otherwise, as others have said....
Charge it up and measure the voltage at the red and black wired. You will need to remove the heat-shrink tubing from the ends to get an accurate measurement.
If you have an "autozone" seller in your area, they might be able to take a voltmeter to it for you. If not, any autoshop should be able to read the voltage for you, or any electrician can, or you can buy an inexpensive 20 pound multimeter, and measure it yourself.

I used to think this too. And in days long past it was actually effective but within the soft society that now exists before us, it's not the case so much anymore... Or at all. It may still work in some small archaic circles but I've found that generally the public frowns on such attitude and it has actually cost me enough to have reluctantly just keep my thoughts to myself most of the time and just smile, nod, wave if she's good looking and smiles back, and continue on about my business. This seems to work out better, at least in my experience. But I'm not well off enough to be independent of others in society. Hats off to you if you are fortunate enough to be.
