Default Yamaha G16 Battery Charging

I have a new to me G16 golf cart and I am new to electric golf carts. It hasn’t been charged in probably a year. Earlier today I went through the batteries and made sure that the water was above the plates. After that I plugged the charger into the cart, a one year old DPI charger. The charger jumped up to 17 amps right away. After it had been charging for maybe 5 minutes it sounded like the batteries were boiling. So I unplugged the charger and checked the water again and plugged the cart back in. Same thing happened again the charger jumped to 17 amps and the batteries made a boiling sound rather quickly the second time around.

Is this normal in electric carts that haven’t been charged for a while for them to sound like they are boiling? Is it normal for electric carts to charge at 17 amps?

Sounds pretty normal to me. Might want to charge it outside. As the electrolysis is creating hydrogen & oxygen (a flammable combo).
