Welcome to the forum...

First check all the batteries to see if they need water. Then check all your cable connections and make sure they're clean and tight. Then check all 6 batteries individually with a digital volt meter and post your results...

I checked all bateries had to add distilled water to couple not much but toped them off. this is the reading i got with my meter.
1st batery read 8.27,second batery read 7.35,third batery read 7.37,4th bat read 5.517,5th bat read 5.003,6th bat reads 4.958.is there a way i can charge 2 batery at time,i have a 12v car charger? thanx.guy at golfcourse said he can sell me used batery year old in dec shape that hold a charge for 25$ each,whould that b good,cause i priced new ones an cant afford $1,000 right now n batery,we only use cart at camp thanx

Looking at the voltages you posted I'd say the batteries are shot. Depending on how old and if they're are good $25 each for used batteries isn't a bad deal...

the guy said there good year old bateries,but wont garentee they last 3 months or 2 years,so should i replace just three bateries,or all 6?

It would be best to replace all six. Seeing how the used batteries are coming form a golf course there's a good chance they'll be Trojans. You can look on the negative terminal for a letter and a number. The letter is the month and the number is the year A9 would be January 2009 etc. Try to six that are the same age or as close as possible...
