My 8 volts are 3 @ 8.60 , 2 @ 8.53 and 8.56, but my dash meter is 0.2 volts lower.

48.1 volts is about 45% charge. TOO LOW TO RUN. Read the sticky about batteries at the top of this section.

How long have you been here Bob?

At 100 % SOC a 48 volt pack will read at least 50.9 volts and at 50 % SOC (Nearly Dead) 48.4 volts.....

That's why a lot of batteries get ruined,

http://www.batterystuff.com/kb/frequ...-13-volts.html

article on Battery volts,

All Lead acid batteries (Gel, AGM, Flooded, Drycell, etc) are made up of a series of 2.2 volt cells that are bridged together in series to reach their final desired voltage. For instance, a 6 volt battery will have 3 cells (3 x2.2= 6.6 volts), a 12 volt battery will have 6 cells (6 x2.2=13.2 volts) and so on.That 2.2 volts is the fully charged, straight off the charger number. The actual resting voltage, or the voltage a battery will settle at 12-24 hours after being removed from the charger, is closer to 2.1 volts per cell, or about 6.4 volts for a 6v battery, and 12.7 volts for a 12v battery. These numbers assume 100% healthy cells, and may vary a bit lower for older batteries.

so 4 x 12.7 is 50.8 volts,

I see now! . I am not maintaining quite enough voltage, is what it boils down to. Well i have "good' speed sensor coming this week , i will put that in and see if theres any or much change.Really looks like these batteries are going to get the axe in favor of 6 trojans thanks glassk for your patience bob s

ps which would you buy Gel AGM ,flooded or Dry cell
