I believe the Exide Stowaway is considered a "maintenance free" type of battery without user removable caps. Although, some 'maintenance free' batteries do have caps and are hidden under the label on the top.

The Stowaway series still off gas so venting is required gut they have an internal baffle that keeps electrolyte in the cells so they should not need water if normally charged and discharged. Thats what I use btw.
