Default Melex cart charged batteries but will run a short distance

Hello, I have a Melex cart it has 6 new charged batteries the problem I am having is will run fine for a few minutes then its like the batteries go dead. But there not. If I leave it sit for a bit it takes off for a short while again. another thing is when I push the pedel it almost wants to spin the tires...Deka Batteries there brand new, the charger is a club car charger. the batteries are at 12.7 There fully charged it just seems like there not after I drive it a short distance. because if I let it sit for about 5 minutes it takes off fast but only runs a short distance about 1 minute...

we need to know the year of the cart, and the drive system, if you post the ser# we can tell you what cart it is? this is a Club Car right


12.73 is a fully charger battery, 12.7 is a dead battery

It says melex in the thread title so I'm guessing older 6/6v batteries orig.
What 12v batteries are you using now?
