Default Help wanted with ~2016 Club Car (Charlottesville, Virginia area)

Jerking motion driving up steep hills. Car seems to run fine other than that. Looking for somebody who can help me diagnose & troubleshoot and potentially fix problem - I will pay you.
Prefer working with one person vs going through a dealer.

One battery reads 6V, five read 8V.

So just replace one of the batteries?

46 volts is dead. They are beyond dead. How old are these batteries?

Thought I had posted here but maybe didn’t.
Needs batteries, or has a bad connection. If you have one battery showing only 6v with the cart sitting still, that one is dead and the others will probably soon follow. Like Budule said, if the labels say PD+ those are possibly original batteries and are in need of replacement. Don’t play the switch and swap game, replace all 6 and be done with them. Talk to Ken at Lake Anna Golf Cars for a set of Trojan batteries and you won’t have to replace them again for 7-8 years or more if you really take care of them.
Sams club has Duracell branded batteries for a little less money but I would only expect those to last 3-5 years.

Any harm in just replacing the one and trying to get another 6 months before needing to replace the rest?

If you could find a used one you could try that. A new one would work but the others would bring it down quickly.
