Default Charger not stopping/ battery

I got the OBC changed and the cart is charging, but charger won't cut off. hooked charger to another cart and it worked correctly. Battery pack voltage never came above 55 volts when charging over the 16 hr timer span. Here is the battery info. 96 Ds with six 18 month old Interstate 8vvolt batteries which were subjected to an OBC which would not cut off before they installed the batteries and more of the same afterwards till the charger relay failed. Battery info as follows: Max voltage during charge was 53.5 after stopping charger manually and sitting 12 hrs the pack voltage read 51.1. Okay now for the individual specs. Batt #1 is 8.51 v. sp gravity readings low 1.250 and high is 1.270 Batt #2 is 8.52 v. and sp gr reading of 1.275 low to high of 1.280. Batt #3 is 8.49 v. and sp. gr was an even 1.275 in all 4 cells. Batt #4 is 8.53 volts and sp gr in all 4 cells was 1.280. Batt #5 is 8.50 v. and sp gr is 1.275 in all 4 cells. Batt #6 is 8.50 v. and gravity is 1.275 low to 1.280 high. are batteries #1 not taking enough charge to allow the voltage to rise enough to satisfy the new OBC and there fore not cut the charger off as it is supposed to.
