Odd battery, no caps to check & add water?
Ultra power RV24 It has a flat top and although there is a split in the top, I can't pry it off. There is a small hole in to top section on either side. Are there releases in those to get the top off...

Here is some helpful info on maintenance free batteries.
If the words "maintenance free" or similar was on the battery I would have understood. All the so-called maintenance free ones I've previously owned still had caps. This is my first sealed one.
I like how the pictured installed battery with the article has water caps on it, the standalone battery pic does not.
According to Ultrapower, the RV 24 is not listed as maintenance Free. They do not show a RV-24, but they do show a EV-24 Now, to your statement about previous batteries were not really sealed. Maintenance batteries mostly have NO removable caps even if they have caps. They are glued or locked somehow to prevent you from accessing the cells. Of course, after 39 years in the RV business, except for AGM batteries, I do not believe that you can have RV deep Cycle maintenance free batteries. They sell them, but I would not want or use such a battery for deep cycle use. Seen too many failures of them over the years. Doug
