It's
low. Check for a leaky or wrong cap. 44-46+V is normal AFTER several
hours on a good battery pack. Initially, it is governed by the load
(current limited), but should rise. If you only go to 40.5 V, you have
about a 3/4 charge.

It depends on the state of charge. If this is open
circuit charger output, it is too low.
Trojan pack at 36 V is to equalize at 46.5 V. Is my
charger faulty?
It likely is . The prime suspect would be the capacitor,
and its associated wiring.
