Default Charger shorting out

I just purchased a 95 Medalist that has melted charger contacts on cart and charger. I ordered new contacts but wanted to charge cart once before they get here so I attempted to wire direct to the batteries. When I got the lead close to the battery it shorted the batteries and arced. Charger was NOT connected to 120v when this happened.
1. Would charger short if cart battery polarity reversed even with charger not plugged in?
2. If polarity is reversed would motor run backwards (i.e. cart travels wrong direction)?
3. Concerned I will just burn up new contacts. Charger fuse and capacitor check out ok.
Thanks, in advance, guys n gals.
