Sounds like a bad connection (high resistance). Current creates heat in proportion to the resistance. Remove the connection and clean all the corrosion, and ensure the connection is tight when reconnecting it.

You have a bad connection. Remove and use a wire brush on both connecting surfaces. This should be an indication that the maintenance of all the connections need to be cleaned. All the batteries should be cleaned regularly to prevent bridge leaking across the poles. This is done by mixing baking soda and water and with a brush scrub the batteries, then rinse with water. Cart batteries are expensive to replace and this procedure will extend the life. Maintain distilled water levels. Remember these batteries are full of acid.
