As the volts on the voltmeter increase, the bubbling sound will increase in intensity. Normal charging ranges can go up to 14.8 with a flooded battery.
Why does my battery gurgle when I charge it?
If you hear gurgling, or hissing from your gel or AGM battery — that is a sign that you are supplying too much current your battery and damage is being done. Sealed Gel batteries should be charged with a voltage between 13.8 and 14.1 and sealed AGM batteries should be 14.6 to 14.6.
What to do if your electric bike battery does not charge?
If your electric bike is being placed on charge and your battery does not seem to charge. It can be worth checking your charger first. There are multiple ways to do this. Some involve lightbulbs and voltmeters.

Is it OK for a lead acid battery to bubble when charging?
Never allow a sealed lead-acid battery to hiss or vent steam when charging! From my repeated research, a small amount of bubbling is acceptable with a sealed battery. They can recombine the evaporated water back into the electrolyte.
