End result, at least for now. I was probably just impatient. The battery now reads fully charged. I took the car out a few times and it starts well, the in dash Alt gage settles down like it should.

This lightning strike has been pretty interesting. No physical damage to the house, so we were lucky. But we keep finding mostly electronic things that are damaged. We have a in-ground pool, we are now up to the mother board, the control panel board and the board in the heating unit.
