Batteries: How maintenance free is "Maintenance Free"?

Oct 19, 2008 2 Replies

I bought a DieHard International "Maintenance Free" battery and would like to know if I can just forget it for the next four years or so or if it must be checked and topped up with H2O from time to time.



It's not a sealed battery, its caps (in a strip of three) can be pried off with a screw driver and pressed back on, but that arrangement doesn't seem like it's designed to be done with any frequency.



Sears web site doesn't discuss a "Maintenance Free" battery's on-going maintenance. This battery has a 36 full warranty and 100 month prorated warranty.



So what do you know?
