Hello everyone,

About a year ago I bought a deep cycle battery to run my ham gear with.
It has sat around for a long time doing nothing.  This weekend I
rearranged my ham shack to make use of the battery.  I thought I'd put
it on my charger (for like a car battery), put the charge setting to 12
volts @15A in Deep Cycle mode.  After about 4 hours I went to check on
it.  The meter read about a 6A/hr charge rate, but I also noticed what
sounded like "boiling" coming from the battery.  I felt the battery and
it was warm.  I didn't know what this meant so I unplugged it.

This 'boiling', is it good, bad, or indifferent?  What does it mean?

Thanks,
Duane
