That process can be repeated as many times as needed to get the cart to a power source (which in most cases will be home). I have never had to rely on this method to get the cart home but it's nice to know that is an option..

Don't do that. The batteries are already to far depleted and doing that will not only harm the batteries but also can wound the electronics.
As battery voltage goes down, amperage goes up, amperage is heat and that heat has to go somewhere...places like the controller, motor, solenoid etc
