    There is a long explanation to what is happening that I can not properly explain with the correct terms.
    Thru a normal recharge cycle, the bubbles are normal.
    When the batteries stop absorbing current, they should settle around 13.6 Vdc.
    You can check the Trojan Volt/charge profile and make sure your not over charging.
    If required adjust your charger or charger controller.

    Your question and video is a great reminder to all that flooded (wet) batteries must be watched and maintained with the proper level of electrolyte (distilled water).
