If you find a good way let me know. Country to popular belief, sealed
batteries do need maintenance. Not as often as conventional batteries, but
they still need the fluid topped off once in a while. However because it is
sealed there is nothing you can do (at least nothing that is safe without
equipment that nobody owns), and you end up getting rid of a battery that
could be perfectly good for a few more years if it had been maintained all
along.
The average person wouldn't do the maintenance anyway, so for the average
idiot the sealed batteries do last longer, perhaps even as long as a
conventional battery, but they could last longer.
