Hot battery terminals on a golf cart?

Question

The terminals on my golf cart battery heat up to the point of melting whenever it is run. The batteries were all re-wired using large enough cables not all of the terminals are heat up only 2 or 3 does anyone know the problem???

Answer 1

Check the oil

Answer 2

Well to say the least you have a huge current draw that only seems to affect 2-3 terminals.  You might check the wiring to be sure you have it wired correctly.  almost sounds lke a dead short somewhere.
