I am thinking of purchasing a new battery and noticed that the original battery (still in car) has a cover on it.
I am assuming that I should keep this cover for the new battery. If so, then should I purchase a maintenance-free battery? It appears that if water had to be added to the battery, the cover would have to be removed and it looks like the cables have to be disconnected in order to remove the cover.
Is a maintenance-free battery required because of the battery cover?
Thanks
