This statement is a inaccurate generalization.ALL "maintenance free" batteries DO NOT have the same type of cover that can be removed.SOME "maintenance free" (SLA) batteries DO have caps/covers that can be removed.SOME "maintenance free" (AGM & GEL) batteries DO NOT have ANY kind of cap or cover that can be removed without destroying the case (see photo below).SOME "maintenance free" (VRLA) batteries have valves on the top that LOOK like "filler" caps but are NOT designed to be removable.ANY "maintenance free" battery can be opened in SOME way by applying sufficient brute force...Many YouTube videos show how to REMOVE the caps/covers on "maintenance free" (SLA) batteries to allow restoration of function.Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) – Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) vs Gel – BatteryGuy.com...

I have no experience with them, hence no opinion."Studied the watering systems from flow-rite.com, decided to go with AGM. Quote Selected 1 Likes
