If you have batteries  exploding then you have Hydrogen gas building up in 
the battery and something  has created a spark to egnite it. This is a very 
potentially dangerous situation  that you need to rememedy right now.
I would take the charger back to where I  bought it and inform them of the 
danger I would also take lots of pictures and  get in touch with one of the 
groups that look after us for things that are  dangerous.
AS I SAID STOP USING THIS THING RIGHT NOW BEFORE SOMEONE GET  BATTERY ACID IN 
THE FACE OR ALL OVER THEIR BODY AND YOU HAVE A REAL BAD  DAY.
I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT BATTERIES THAT EXPLODE AND HOW DANGEROUS THEY  ARE.
