I have a couple of [Yuasa NPW36-12 12V 7.2Ah](http://via.com.bo/Yuasa-NPW36-07AH.pdf) batteries from a phased out UPS unit. The batteries are barely one year old and have less than 100 charge cycles on them. I don't have a lead acid battery charger and thought I could whip something quick on perfboard using the LM317s I do have lying around. This is what I came up with:

Basically a constant current/voltage charger which works for other battery types. Input is 19V from a laptop brick charger (3.5A) and `R1` is made up of 2 resistors in series, each with a rating of 10W. I aimed for something close to 14.7V on the output so that I can compensate for the drop on `U2` and `D1`. 

Now to my question:

1. Is this a viable solution for an overnight charge since I'm charging at about 0.1C?
2. Will it harm the batteries if left attached for longer periods of time?
3. Should I worry about gassing at V>14.2V?
4. Lastly, I saw one where only one LM317 is used in conjunction with a `TL431` at the adjust pin. Would that be a better option? I can attach the image if relevant.
