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.

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.

Decades of experience have shown me conclusively that directness, combined with a bit of flamboyance, yields the best results.
