New member, old golf cart

Hi, have the chance to get what i think is a 2000 electric club car serial number A0001-860405. Previous owner who i know said it ran 2 years ago when he parked it in his shed with the batteries still in it. All six batteries (trojan T-875) are split wide open from the cold Canadian winters. What should i be checking or testing before i shell out big bucks for new batteries ? Thanks.

the 01 is the week of production * production starts in Aug or the year before the model year

i would test the motor first

you can us a car battery and you can use 2 jumper cables ...
BUT do not touch on battery use the motor side
