Default Studdering

I have a 48 volt cart, batteries test full charge. When I depress pedal the cart moves normal for acouple of feet then it begins to studder as if it don't have voltage. If I check the batteries they still show full charge.

I should have mentioned, when this first happened I cleaned every cable.The only ones I didn't do where the ones on the motor itself. I tested each batt individually and all 6 before and after trying to run it, no voltage drop at all. The batteries are less than a year old.

an easy test is to try running until the problem occures and then, using you hands, feel the cables and connections and feel for hot spots.

Connect the DVM to the battery pack mains with tape or ? so you can put the meter on the seat and go for a drive... what does the voltage drop to? What is it when standing still?

it only takes 1 to drop to far and even new ones sometimes can be bad but what your decribing is classic battery failure under load...........................

Well it looks like 2 of the batteries drop voltage down to 4.5 under load. Do you think the epsom salt trick will buy me some life ?
