Not really so long as there is some air movement. I have to say that I've never seen a battery explode, heard of it happening but I've never had it happen personally
First too I'd roll out the Golf Car. (Sing to the obvious roll out tune) before I started to charge. Just to be safe.
Should not be that hard to do. If you can't roll it out open the tailgate and put in a fan.
Battery Explosion I have heard of it happening when two batteries were hooked up "Back to back" instead of side by side I mean

Dead 24 volt short blew one or both up But normally a battery "Explosion" is more of a "Pfft" than a "BANG" that is the case cracks and acid is sprayed all over the battery compartment..
IF this happens.. Hose it down FAST cause as others have said not good for the metal in your garage.. or anything else for that matter. But if it happens. I would EXPECT it to happen fairly soon. (Like 1st hour) and unless the batteires are totaly gone you should be able to move it out
NOTE: at least one make of Golf Car if the batteries are truly flat the charger won't.. Well there is a way to jumper two connections and it will but basically it won't.. And no I can not tell you which leads (Without the diagram in front of me) but this type has a 3 prong charger to Golf Car plug as I recall. The charge controller is split between the charger and the car... If the batteries are totaly dead (like 2 years no charge) they can not power the car half of the charger control circuit.
