Just in case...

Since I gather that this problem occurred AFTER the new batteries were installed what changed?

Go back to basics first and carefully check the cable positions.

What is the TOTAL battery pack voltage now after charge? Is it around 51 volts give or take .1 volts?

What are the individual battery voltages?
