The older golf carts use lead acid batteries that do not usually burn. The new electric carts are using lithium batteries like the cars and if they are over charged or get overheated, they will burn VERY hot. It's not fun trying to put out a lithium fire and by the time you get it put out, you will likely have nothing left but a blob of molten metal.
