Buy a maintenance free battery.
I did have an electric forklift at a job. The levels had to be checked everyday before it was put on the charger. There were days that over a gallon of water was needed. We used tap water and never had a problem. |

No such thing as a maintenance free motorcycle battery.

You can still add water to most "maintenance free" batteries unless there isnt actually any cap. And yes MF batteries will need water too. Ive done it plenty of times. IMO all MF means is its gonna fail unless you keep and eye on the water.

I just checked the water in my MF Die Hard Gold in the Yukon. 5 cells were fine one needed just a splash. I figured why would they have caps if they didn't want me to check them.

This is an older thread, but now there are maintence free motorcycle batteries. They are using lithium ion.
My latest maintenence free is an optima. It has no caps.  |

Some of the new RC lithium ion batteries are impressive, probably as much current handling ability as your car battery with a few packs in parallel. There's a vid on youtube of them starting a dragster with one.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQ8RzIBTmKI&feature=player_embedded But I'd be concerned about charging them. You need a controller that can ensure they aren't overcharged or overvoltage, and preferrably a low voltage cutoff. That and they are more dangerous and sensitive to heat than a lead acid. more info: http://www.bigsquidrc.com/rc-myths-fa ... iction-lipo-car-starting/ BTW, my motorcycle battery looks like it's boiling, or at least fizzing during a charge, is that normal? |

I'd say yes. I always saw bubbles in the bike batterys I charged when I was working in the bike shop. Car batteries too. That was quite a while ago, but I don't think things have changed that much. |
