Let's start over here. When you say it's reading 10 amps is that after a complete charge over night? If so then plug it back in and give it a 30 minutes or so and see if it drops down. One bad battery could also cause this condition since both chargers are doing the same thing.

Let it run .... 40 volts is not excessive. 36 volts is considered empty or less than 50% capacity of six 6v batteries. Your charger will finish up at about 42v and then an hour later you will see the pack voltage has settled down to about 38.2v reference the chart below. Voltage readings are best taken 30-45 minutes after the charger shuts off and the surface charge has settled to a true reading....

Go ahead and put the other charger on it now. It should run for a little while and shut off.
