Sealed Car Battery... Safe To Charge?

[mastercraft]

Having done a lot of short journeys in the last few months (mainly at night with lights on) and the recent cold nights we've had, my car battery is labouring to start the engine in the mornings and sounding like it's about to give up.
The last time I charged a 12 volt battery (motorcycle) it had caps/plugs on each chamber which had to be removed whilst charging in order to release gasses/pressure, also allowing for topping up with distilled water.

Is it safe to put a sealed battery on a low charge for a few hours?

Yes, just charge it as normal.

As Tony say. It will have a breather outlet on the side at about the fluid level so no problem.

You'll be ok but charging systems are much more efficient these days but batteries seem to seem more fragile. Do not be surprised if you need a new battery soon. Would get yourself a pair jump leads in the boot just in case if do have a really cold snap soon

Thanks all.
