Will take it around the course this week and watch the voltage a little more closely. thanks for all your assistance.

That is concerning, as the default Low Voltage Cutoff is factory set to 40V. The RXV is programmed to shut down and set an error code when it reaches 40V. So now you know why it is shutting down. You CAN replace the battery cables with 2 AWG and put in a set of new batteries. Just keep in mind, that default limit is way too high in my opinion. When I reprogram an RXV controller, I always change that limit to something more reasonable. That pretty much eliminates the issue that a lot of RXV owners have during times of high demand.
