Angry 2001 ds draining batteries fast

Hello everyone, I am having some issues with my batteries being drained very fast. I have trojans batteries and after a charge and a day of sitting I have between 8.2 and 8.4 on every battery and a total of 50.2 ish across the whole pack. Cart is lifted with 22'' tall tires with 20lbs of air in them. stock controller and motor. After about 10 to 15 minutes of riding my batteries seam like they are completely drained and the cart gets slower and slower. All new 4 awg wire and connections clean. Any help here would be greatly appreciated

50.2 is about 85% charge. Your charger isn’t fully charging the pack

double check battery wiring positive to negative thru the chain, if that is all good check specific gravity with a battery tester/hydrometer, ride the cart for 10 minutes then feel all the wires for heat, check all connections at the wires, even if the nut is tight does not mean the conection is good,may need to add some lock washers, if none of that helps it could be the motor is gonna need a rebuild or has a stuck brush, check to see if the cart rolls freely or if the brakes are dragging, check rearend oil, front wheel bearings. as far as the batteries one bad cell can spoil the rest usually the first or last battery in the chain hope this helps

Did you buy them a year ago or did somebody tell you they are a year old?
