1 positive battery post getting hot
This is a new to me cart I have been working on its a Cushman hawk but I have néw batteries in it and I am sure it is wired right. I have one battery where the posit I've terminal is hot to touch where it will burn you. I was looking for the hot smell when I found it. It is in the middle of the pack no other wires on it. Negative wire is cool to touch. Could it be a bad connection with the battery cable? Or do I have a bad battery?

Generally a hot connection means it is loose or the cable has internal corrosion.

Replace that cable or clean the connection ASAP before you melt the post.

Re: 1 positive battery post getting hot
It's always a good idea to check for hot connections every so often - and especially after doing work on the cart. Glad you got it sorted.
