Re: battery question
It is hard to freeze a charged battery.As charging creats heat... Bulging sides is a sign of overcharging or just plain old and done in batteries. Sounds like you may need new. How old are they and what does the voltmeter say?

Re: battery question
Every electric cart owner needs to have a voltmeter. Do not let the batteries set flat for extended times....as that alone can kill them . If you have no tools check the water levels ( distilled water only) and charge. The year of manufacture is stamped into the lead post base. I yr old 07 or 06?
