Smitty says:  No doubt someone will correct me whether I am wrong or not.
 But I am always willing to learn something.  It is my understanding that
a Maintenance free battery is just another common battery with a huge
over capacity of electrolite over the plates so it will die of old age
before the electrolite is depleated.  If that is the case it would still
be vented and in case of over charge or over load, would still
contaminate the air passing by.
