With the voltage leaving the pack through the #1 battery it makes sense that that batter would be the lowest.
Continuity test shows the motor good but could be something that only shorts while moving....I don't know....just the only thing I can think off...
I will put new batteries in this weekend and post the results...

Unless there is some external load across individual batteries (like a 12volt tap) you must understand that the same current flows through each battery in series during charging or discharging regardless of the terminal voltage or its location in the pack. There is no way one battery should respond differently because of its location other than some environmental condition surrounding it. If you would swap batteries as I suggested above it would prove or disprove my point. The lower voltage battery in position one when swapped with position two should remain lowest voltage in new number two position.
