Will the devices heat up or get killed?

If you have to ask, the answer is YES!
It depends on what exactly you are trying to charge and what charge controller you plan on using.

An ATX form factor PSU outputs 3.3, 5.0 and 12.0 VDC and you make no mention of what battery chemistry you are charging. Some batteries require a controlled charge or you risk fire or expulsion. A 12 volt SLA battery requires greater than 12 volts to charge. As mentioned, depends on exactly what you are trying to do. Do it wrong and things get very ugly very fast.
