I was able to remove the "sealing" from two "sealed cell" batteries and replenish the fluid with some distilled water. Got at least another year out of both of them. The holes were the same as you'd find on regular batteries. I went down to a local gas station and got two "caps" for each of the batteries and "resealed" them. With a little creative plastic-carving, I got the caps to fit nicely.
When filling any battery, don't fill it to the top...look into each hole and you'll see a "slit" down the wall of the hole...just bring the fluid level up to the BOTTOM of the hole...the slit allows any gas-buildup to exit that particular cell and not spew electrolyte out through the cap itself and eventually all over the place...
