Why is this even a question? My LifeP04 battery is as wide as the cart, and the terminals are on opposite sides of the battery. How would you ever get a short here?
And before you bring up something else equally invalid - if you short the terminals on a 12v battery on a gas cart (which are only 10" apart), the battery can explode or spark, causing the gas tank to catch fire and explode. Although it's a very remote possibility, it still has a greater chance of occurring than your scenario.
Neither scenario is ever likely to occur, and should not factor into anyone's decision.
I'm not advocating for gas or electric - both work fine. I'm just trying to get rid of mis-information, myths, and rumors so that folks can actually make an informed decision when purchasing.
