So, thanks to Gene N - today I added water to my battery and started charging it.

The battery was installed in August of 2014 and still doing well(knock on wood). Had to jump start my car once because I spent about 2 hours in heavy traffic and it drained it (after being rear ended I pulled over and decided to turn off my car, then of course I couldn't start it). So, I tested it while cranking - voltage didn't drop below 10.4 which is good so I decided to charge it - I measured only 12.4 across the terminals (fully charged battery would show 12.6 which is 2.1 (one cell)X6).

If anyone decides to service the battery (MTP 48/H6) which has all 6 vent caps attached to 1 panel - clean your battery first, remove all the dust/dirt/debris and wipe it with a water/baking soda solution. If you have a source of compressed air use it to remove all the dirt around that panel/cover you are about to remove. After you pry it out you will find a lot of dirt inside! Be careful not to drop anything into the vent wells.
Add distilled water only and make sure you have about 1/8 of an inch between the water and the bottom of a tube - that is ideal. You don't want to have exposed lead plates but you don't want to overfill either! After that make sure that you place cover back in place and it is seated properly.

Now you can connect you battery to a battery charger and wait!;-)
