Strange readings. Is this while charging or resting. Maybe you could tell us a little bit about these new batteries. A picture would be excellent.

8-9 resting, I just bought them 3 weeks ago from Affordable carts in bonita springs, they go through/SELL 2 tractor trailer loads a year !!!! i'LL LOOK FOR INFO BUT AM GONNA REPLACE CABLES TOMORROW MORN.oops . I already super cleaned/sanded copper contacts on FNR switch, no sign of over heating , very slightly dirty. The juice/contact path just ain't gettin to the motor I think, so that's my focus. Any other ideas?
