Thanks JFP,
The equalizing cycle just ended (about 4 1/2 hours), and now the charger shows 'full' and the battery never got hot, but I saw the liquid bubbling very slowly.

The instructions called to remove the plugs which I did however, to keep the dirt out these were covered with a folded 'blue paper towel' and the towel ended impregnated with circled shaped holes with minuscule dark particles on it from the cells.

I will let it cool down before starting the engine, a small report will follow afterwards.
