If the battery is "boiling like we are bailing the water" then the charging current is too high. Check the voltage regulator for faults, and rectify them.

Good post.

To OP:-

....and the battery is also being charged longer than it needs to recharge.

Overcharging is really bad for the battery....

Also I suspect that the battery may be too small for the voltage/current being applied.....
