1993 marathon letting the smoke out of the controller

New here and can use some help, I picked up a 1993 marathon that has set for two years. The story I got was the cart was bought and driven for two days and slowly went dead and wouldn't recharge, so new batteries were installed and it never moved again, so I pick it up today batteries have zero charge, hook up charger and nothing so I open it up and can't see anything obvious so I hook the two wires on the relay together and it fires up and starts charging, I think great let it charge for several hours and decided to try it. I unhook the charger step on the pedal and solenoid clicks and I can see wisps of smoke coming out of what I think is the controller (large black box) and it doesn't even try to move. I have another controller that came in a parts box and don't know if its any good but I thought I might try it tomorrow but my question is what else to check that would cause a controller to let the smoke out before I ruin another one.
