Does anyone know what the red part on the right side of the meter reader represents and should I be concerned. It never used to go over that far. Thanks for any ideas.

I am not sure the type of meter you have, but what is happening sounds normal to me. After using the cart the battery pack will likely be around 49 volts. When you plug the charger in the voltage of the pack will steadily go up. At the end of the charge cycle while the batteries are "boiling" the voltage of the pack will be as high as 63 volts which would show very high on a meter. This is normal.
After the charge a good set of batteries will settle back to just under 51 volts. Nice reference site here:
