Default EZGO RXV Electric Cart Problem

My 2009 EZGO RXV 48v electric cart is about 18 months old and having some problems. Most recently after driving about 15 miles when the state of charge (SOC) indicator reduces to 1/2, the gauge suddenly drops to zero with the warning light on. The cart continues to operate normally but now has a greatly reduced range (30 miles max). This has been going on for over a month and twice been back to the dealer. The first time the dealer replaced one of the Trojan 1275 12v batteries because it "tested bad". A week later the cart had the same problem (SOC gauge drops to zero) and the dealer replaced a second battery. I called yesterday with the same repeat problem and the dealer made another appointment to pick up the cart. The maintenance manager said it was the 3rd phone call that morning with the same complaint. Is anyone else have this problem? If so, what's the fix?
