The battery cables of your golf cart are prone to occasionally melting just like the cables of the batteries in any other vehicle.

The main reason why golf cart battery cables will melt is because of too much current passing through the jumper cable; resulting in overheating and melting.

A poor contact connection or a missing ground strap between the chassis and the engine may also result in the melting of your golf cart battery cables.

Alternatively, corrosion of either of the above two can also be a reason for the battery cables to melt.

A third reason is that the motor of your golf cart has a bad starter. It must be drawing excessive current through the cable or its solenoid must have become short-circuited.

Poor quality of the cables may also be another reason for the melting, because of inferior quality copper plating of cables and low-quality wire connectors.
