Caution goes on here.
A 36 volt might be exactly that. And the charger might 'average' or 'RMS'
to 36 but 'peak' at much higher than that depending on your measurement.
RMS is .707 of a sine wave. You have half wave or full wave.
You have a fluke ? - does it have frequency ? RMS ? Peak?
Waveform ?
You might have lossy cells - lead might be shorting a cell out at the
bottom - flaking out - and shorting a cell above it.
Take the battery out - can you even lift it... if you can with an apron
tip it from side to side. That might do it.
I'd try to see if you can measure each cell. Many big batteries are strapped
between cells. You can find a bad one. It might be low of water.
It might have sit for a long time. Sulphurized the plates ? Hum.
Much to learn.

Well, now you know why that battery is dead as a door nail. You got to have about 40 volts to charge a 36 volt battery..

I'd first try hooking the charger direct to the truck and see if the truck is worth fixing. I've run my truck this way in "emergency mode"
