Your maintenance-free battery ISN'T maintenance free !

I've been following this thread with interest as I used to unscrew the
caps on my battery and top up the water but not with the current one which
has no caps. The old batter lasted 9 years. The current battery bought
second hand has lasted 6. However on closer examination after reading this
thread I see that half of the top of the battery will pop up (the half
which does not include the posts) so I am going to give it a try.

I assume I just add water to cover the plates.

I don't have any distilled water but do have 2 feet of snow in the back
yard, some of which I scooped up into a plastic jug and am just waiting
for to melt. Should be close enough to distilled for the job.
