Test batteries under driving load (preferably uphill) - not on jack stands.

another guy just told me that if i find a bad battery i can pull it and the next one in the series and insert a 12 v car battery (just to check) and see if the cart runs then that would pinpoint my problem. would this work?

Why don't you just check the batteries voltage as Scotty suggested in post #11 and determine if the batteries are the problem with the cart stuttering? Post the results here and there are some experts here can guide you in the right direction..

Any charged battery that drops below 5.5v under load has a problem and should be replaced. Most of the time a whole cell drops out and you will see a drop of 2+ volts in a bad battery under load. Simple definitive test.

In your first post you indicated 5 batts around 6.x volts and one at 10. If you have a mix of voltages, your charger may be happy with over and under charged batts, since all it cares about is total pack voltage.

I didn't see that original post..... something is wrong there!

Is the 10v a 12v battery?

Do all the batteries have the same number of water fill holes?
