From the Optima web site...

    *Nonspillable *

Due to its completely sealed case, the OPTIMA Yellow Top battery is
extremely safe and corrosion resistant. Acid can't leak or spill, making
them clean, user-friendly and environmentally sound. In addition, the
maintenance free sealed case design eliminates the need to add water or
clean terminals.
