When its charging it hums and the needle goes to between half way and 3/4. I think my batteries are around 4 years old, so i think that may be the problem. Any help is appreciated.

Is yours a resistor or solid state controlled cart? Did this problem just start, or has it been going on for awhile? Can you tell us what voltage your battery pack has when it has finished charging.
I'll make a guess without more information, that you have a weak battery in your pack. If you would, post both an open circuit voltage and a running voltage ( load ) of the battery pack after the speed drops off. Once this is determined do a test on each individual battery in the same way. At this point, I don't think your charger is at fault.
