Default Club car charging

Just arrived yesterday and my 48v (6-8volt batteries) club car charger continues to charge. The charger drops down to about 8v overnight but then continues at that rate. I put a voltmeter on all the batteries and they are within a half volt of each other. The batteries are approximately 2 1/2 yrs old. I think I most likely have a bad cell? I want to wait until Spring to replace all the batteries. My questions are:
Does it sound likely to have a bad cell?
Is it worth changing out one battery?
How is the new Trojan Ranger battery proving out? Or am I better off going to 8 six volt batteries?
