In a Lead-Acid battery gas is formed when charging the battery,
this is normal. The more amps you push in the more bubbling...

BE VERY CAREFULL when you still hear this bubbling:
these fumes are not good for your health and are flammable.
No smoking near a charging battery and look out for sparks;
disconnect power to the charger first, THEN disconnect the
wires from the battery. This way there is the lest chance of sparks.
