They do go through a process at the end of a charge cycle called gassing when you can hear a sizzling sound and they give off an odor. 17 hours seems like a long cycle to me, I believe my CC (2003 DS) charger shuts off after 12 hours whether the charge is complete or not. I would check the water level, take it for a ride and charge again. Just my opinion and I'm no expert....gn
