Default Battery Question

I have searched it but did not find my question so I wanted to ask. I am about to charge my Battery it is a maintenance free, but it has the screws on top it is not a sealed battery. Most of the batteries in the past I have pulled the caps off and charged it, then refilled the battery with distilled water if it had caps. And for the sealed ones I just charged. I was talking to a guy he said for maintenance free batteries if you take the caps off it will void the warranty. So should I leave the caps on or take them off to charge it, and do you refill a maintenance free battery with distilled water? I just wanted to know before I do something I might regret.

Most of the time you don't have to keep the reciept. They will put the info in there puter and just pull it up when you come in to replace the battery.

The battery is good it is about a year and a half old. I had a buddy check it with a diagnostic tool it showed it is still good. I just wanted to charge it to keep the life up on it. I usually charge a battery every other year with a trickle charger. I just wanted to make sure I don't void the warranty on it with the caps.
