Simple, the 2011/12 battery is in a grey enclosure with an orange+green service disconnect socket with round pins, surrounded by security torx bolts and the top of the enclosure has about 20 bolts around the edge, because it is *bolted* closed. If you open it, you will see the modules have *black* plastic inserts to hold the pouches (the 4 actual cells in each module) The 2013+ variant is in a black enclosure that is *glued* shut and has only 5 bolts on each of the 2 long sides. The service disconnect has a white socket with flat blade contacts and is mounted by regular 10mm hex bolts. If you have access to the modules (should not unless you cut the enclosure open) you will see *white* plastic inserts in the modules to hold the 4 pouches. Looking at the serial number of the pack, it has the year in the first two numbers, then a character for month: 1=Jan,..., A=Oct, B=Nov, C=Dec.
