Post a picture of your wiring. Something of good enough quality that we can make out the wiring.

Put a voltmeter across your pack. Tell us the voltage when still, and again when going up that hill.

Any chance that voltage reducer is a 16v to 12v reducer, that you're hooking up to full pack voltage? And what is this "ground" you speak of? Don't hook your reducer to the cart frame, it needs to go to a battery terminal.

Your pack wiring, if correct (like no battery in backwards or something), should work for your testing. But it won't charge correctly. So I wouldn't use this long-term.
