Re: Charging Battery Bubbling Noise

[jtrealty@xxxx]

If you were charging a "sealed" battery (one that you can't open the 
caps to the cells) and you heard it "bubbling" you were probably 
overcharging it. The best way to charge a battery is long and slow. 
Never let it get hot while charging. 8 hours on a high rate of charge 
was probably too much. Be very careful to never charge a battery that 
has been frozen, some of the plates may have shorted together and in 
extreme cases they have been known to explode! If you have the time 
hook to a trickle charger and check daily till fully charged. Load 
test to measure the amp-hour capacity of the battery. If it is less 
than 80% of listed capacity consider replacemant. You should always 
remove from car while charging. Never smoke or use open flame near a 
charging battery, it is giving off hydrogen gas.
