Just to clarify, let's start with the basics here. If your batteries are sitting at 8 volts each and your total battery pack is reading 48 volts, that's a sign your batteries are below a 50% state of charge. Fully charged, each 8volt battery should actually be closer to 8.49 volts, meaning a healthy pack should be giving you more than 50 volts in total, around 50.9 to 51.2 volts or higher. Anything below that means you're dipping into a lower state of charge and that could easily explain the stuttering you're experiencing on acceleration. See attached chart
