Default Cart battery blew its top

I was driving in a 36v E-Z-Go on the flat parallel to 466 when there was a loud bang from under the seat and the cart lost power.

Looking under the seat, one of the terminals had exploded off a battery. The cable and terminal were very hot, but the battery wasn't.

What might cause this to happen, and are the other batteries at risk of doing the same?

They are Trojans, installed as a set four years ago.

Just yesterday I checked the batteries for water, tested pH and voltage, and all seemed well.

Thank you
