Bigun, welcome. Do you have a digital volt ohm meter? It will be the tool you use the most.

We will need readings after charging and after running to know what you battery pack is doing, without them it will be guess work.

Your batteries are 5 + years old.. I'm understanding that you only get 5 - 6 years out of a set anyway. How long are you planning on running the same batteries?

I am not a sparkler man but the next step is check and clean

36 Volts On Fully Charged Batts. Means They Are Dead,Junk,Kaput. do a full charge and then check them about an hour later.

36v is less than 50% charged, so a digital reading is in order to better help you.

Where and how are you reading 21 amps?

Are the batteries properly filled with distilled water?
