You are describing battery problems.

I agree with Scotty! How old are your batteries? Check the voltages by this chart and it will give you an idea.

The shuttering is low voltage on the batteries, but good batteries last alot longer. See what voltage you have, I think the batteries are going bad.

You can also check each cell with a hydrometer. My neighbor had a single cell go bad. If yours are only 5 months old, even though their refurbs, the dealer might swap it out.

ok all the battiers are 6.2 to 6.4 but one batt. is 4.42 si that one i would say is not good? it doesnt come up in charger with the charger on, i think its a dead one. could that cause it to only go 1 hour and die or is that wiring?

Yes.

Make sure you buy a USED battery, if you put a new battery in a pack of old ones uneven charging will kill the new one quickly.
