Theoritically yes, but It's not very practical to do so. For these types of powerbanks, most will give out a boost for a span of around 15-30 seconds and then shutoff after that as a safety feature. So you would need to keep the cart moving without the engine stopping to get to your destination. You best bet for a backup is to pay yearly for a Cart Aid type service that will tow your cart if it breaks down for any reason.
