I guess if it is really a 'maintenance free' it is sealed and requires no water. If it is not maintenacce free and needs water, the easiest way is to use a nasal spray bottle. When empty, clean it out, I use tap water, and you can squeeze a little into each cell as needed. There will be some people giving different advice on as to what kind of water to use so make up your own mind. As long as you charge the battery after putting in water it will by chemical breakdown turn to acid.However, if your cells are empty, do not add water and seek out the leak, probably needing a replacement battery.

Never use tap water in a wet cell battery. Use distilled water only. That comes from my childhood--which is a looooong time ago. There's something about the minerals in tap water that can destroy the battery cells.
