i just got an ezgo '96 elec cart the batts were repalced last year anyway i had charged them up two at a time when i got it home just to try to get them fully charged after a couple hours they all read 40volts, then drove it 3-5 minutes tops and checked the batteries again and they read like 21 volts,
Is this normal?or i just didnt charge them up long enough?
also i do have a charger for the cart i was just trying something!!

Welcome to the forum...

No it isn't normal. You need to charge the batteries with the carts charger and let it charge until the charger shuts off on its own. Also make sure the batteries don't need water...
