Welcome to the forum...

8.2 volts is low for a 8 volt battery. Have you checked to see if the batteries need water? If they need water fill them until the plates are covered and charge them until the charger shuts off. Then take individual voltage readings on all 6 batteries. Make sure ALL your cable connections are clean and tight. Fully charged you should have about 8.50 volts on each battery one hour after the charger shuts off.

It sounds lke you either have a bad battery or bad OBC...

Is your cart a regen or series (do you have a run / tow switch under the seat)?
Whats your serial number so we can tell what year the cart is?
