So you're saying that you used to see higher currents and better 
acceleration at low speeds?  Yes?  No?

Bill had some good thoughts.  Also, have you checked all the cells under 
load, to make sure that each one is doing its part?

I know nothing about the Kelly controllers except what I read, which is that 
they're not exactly top shelf products.  This may not apply, but I remember 
the old PMC DCC range of controllers which, if I'm not mistaken, used the 
E/C junctions of the bipolar power transistors as shunt resistors for the 
current limit.  As the transistors aged, their E/C resistance rose, causing 
the controller to limit at lower currents (and causing acceleration to 
weaken).  A few owners tried cranking up the limit control in response.  Not 
too surprisingly, they fried the power transistors.
