KATY: The battery has no liquid acid in it, can't spill. Jim's Battery sells them to look exactly like original battery, but many makes are out there. Snyder's sells this version:

OPTIMA BATTERY 6V
A-10655-6
The Optima is a sealed battery so we are able to ship it within the U.S. by UPS or Federal Express.

I my have used the wrong term, "SEALED" it may be Glass Mat :---BU-201a: Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM)
Learn what differentiate AGM from other lead acid battery types

AGM technology became popular in the early 1980s as a sealed lead acid battery for military aircraft, vehicles and UPS to reduce weight and improve reliability. The sulfuric acid is absorbed by a very fine fiberglass mat, making the battery spill-proof. This enables shipment without hazardous material restrictions.

At any rate it can't leak.
