Default stuttering throttle and poor battery life

I am working on a 2003
ezgo shuttle 2x2e. It's a 36v setup, all 6 batteries check 7.5v and up, load test shows no significant drop. Charge every night and lately, it wont make it through the day and notice a stutter or hesitation after a few short trips. Wondering where to look next? Thanks in advance! Any help would be appreciated.

Next step is to check voltages when it starts stuttering. Your batts may be taking a charge, but be incapable of holding a charge and delivering it.

It does it when under load, up hill is the worst. How to check when driving?

Put your meter probes in the charge port.

So, 45v standing still. 39v full throttle starts on normal ground and 36 on steep incline with shuttering. Around 40v or so moving on level ground.

These voltages are all too high for a 36v system, and too low for a 48v system. How many, and what type batteries do you have?

Meter check across all batteries 47-48v. Same check while on charge 52v. The charger is a Power Wise for this model and says 36v.
