When you move the Neg to the B- you will have the pack disconnected. This will reset the OBC and may help.
First off, thanks for the replies Nolefan. I live in PCB, so lots of Noles around here.

As for the Cart, I completely removed the Voltage Reducer, and disco the pack for 10 minutes, reconnected the pack, and charged. It has been charging for 16 hours or so now, and my pack is back up to 60.1V. This is amazing, I have never seen the pack get that high, even new. I now think that my old batteries were in fact, not bad, just this issue, as I didnt rewire when getting new batteries. I did the compelte rewire before.

So appareantly my Voltage reducer wired the way I had it was the culprit. I am going to rewire with the + coming from the solenoid and the - going to the B- on Controller.

Thanks again to everyone who responded, and for anyone having a similar problem, try this, as it works.
