Could have been due to loose battery cables or corrosion.

What he said. If you upgrade the cable size it helps the battery and controller life.

It's important to keep all connections clean and tight. A long hard run will discharge the battery at a good rate, and discharging causes gassing of the battery which will lead to heat in the loose or dirty terminal end.
If the battery is still a good battery (other then the bad terminals), it can be repaired.
Sounds like you have been down this road. I have once and won't again!
If it melted the terminal it was a loose connection. Heat in a circuit is directly related to resistance. Loose dirty connections create heat.

Melted Battery Terminal:
Loose translation = Poor Preventative Maintenance :p

A go-cart is standing on a runway that can move (like a giant conveyor
belt). This conveyor has a control system that tracks the go-cart's
speed and tunes the speed of the conveyor to be exactly the same (but
in the opposite direction) instantly.
Will the battery melt? :idea: :boxed:
