BDI shows discharged battery when charged

This is for a 1998 Easi R40TT (36V).
The oddest thing is happening: plug in a battery that is 38.8V and the BDI shows fully discharged and puts the reach into lift lockout; however; when we plug in a discharged battery @ 36V, the unit shows fully charged. We have tried another battery at 38.8V and same thing. I Have tried in all of the parameters but cant figure it out?? Help someone !!
Thank you!!

Fact of the week
According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
