Default Battery health - loaded voltage?

Stock EZGO, no idea of model. Took some V/A measurements just now seeing as I don't have to worry about wires any more - full charged voltage is just over 38V, drops to 33V at 200A if you floor it, or during a sustained 150A (i.e. the steepest part of our driveway), and recovers back to 38V immediately.

Batteries look OK to you? I couldn't find any numbers for a loaded battery here..

How much more power (torque) would a controller upgrade give me? I've seen claims of 30% - sounds too good to be true, but if the controller is eating up a bunch of the power, I guess it would be worthwhile.

My plan is to upgrade the motor, controller and batteries over time, so I have no issue changing out the controller now..
