No way. Those batteries are hook in series, not parallel.

Correct you don't need to disconnect the cables for float chargers, as long as they're connected directly to the battery terminals they'll only charge the battery its plugged into.

Just make sure You get the suggested DPI charger before you spend money in Golf Cart batteries.

You will be better with a charger if You want sell the cart anyway.

It is not just a matter of taking longer, the thick plates on a Golf cart battery cannot be charged with that little energy, the 1.5 amps (not 6 amps as you do not add them together) will not create the chemical action necessary deep in the cells.

You will end up with mostly a surface charge and possibly stratified electrolyte which will corrode the bottom of the plates where the sulfuric acid will settle.

You are correct, there is no need to disconnect the batteries from each other to charge an individual battery.

Correct with all batteries plugged together in series the ends make 48v, but if you plug into one battery on its terminals its only 12V this is how you can run lights and 12V power by using just 1 battery even though all 4 batteries together make 48V. You can safely run 4 chargers on all 4 batteries at 12V each while having them wired up in series as long as the chargers are in the terminal.
