16V is symptomatic of either using one of the bad 2008 batteries or using a remarkably discharged battery.

With the bad 2008 batteries, the unloaded voltage may read good, but the loaded voltage will drop like a rock. Please measure it while it is attempting to power the robot.

Also, please confirm by attaching a known good battery.
