Re: Charger plug cable getting hot
Check to see if you don't have any loose connections namely the plug to receptacle fit is too loose it can cause too much heat build up....

Re: Charger plug cable getting hot
If the charger to cart connection is worn it may be intermittent. Sever resistance in an old wire will cause heat too.

Checked the Battery cables and one of them was loose, tighten it up and rechecked them all and it's not getting hot now like it was, but getting warm, thanks teecro, ssottyb, the charger plug looks good, think I need to replace it if it's keeps getting warm??
