My 2011 Sightseer 33C has two Napa batteries. Each cell has a separate cap which is flush with the top of the battery. Each cap has a long slot that is almost the diameter of the cap. The slot is somewhat rounded at the bottom. I cannot get these covers off!! Neither screwdriver nor quarter with vice-grip attached will move them at all. Today I went to Napa. The person there told me that all their batteries were now maintenance free. Can this be? I sure would like to believe this. It makes life much easier. What do you think??
