Drawing 12V for the LED light bar from two of the batteries in the battery pack is killing those two batteries.

Some of those LED light bars draw over 10A @ 12V and a 10A imbalance can cause a battery pack to have all sorts of conniptions.

Always run 12V accessories from either a separate 12V battery or a voltage reducer that draws amps equally from all the batteries in the pack.

Connect a 12V charger across those two batteries after the whole pack has been charge with the 36V charger and charge the daylights out of them and they might recover to about the same storage capacity as the other four.
