Not sure if I'm missing something here but the obvious - perhaps only to me? - answer is that you will be pulling approximately 220+ amps from the six golf cart batteries.
Given that you have a 50 amp charger I'm not sure how it could keep up.
It seems to me that the inefficiency of the system (less that 60%) is what is killing you.

Its the power wires from the main switch and in the middle of the controller that heat up. I soldered those and they are much better.
