The contacts are probably dirty in the charger plug and the cart receptacle. You should take the plug apart and check the connections inside and pull the cover off the receptacle on the cart and make sure they're tight. Spray the contacts with contact cleaner. If it still gets hot you'll need to replace the contacts.
