Acura Battery Life

I recently purchased an 06 TL from an Acura dealer. I didn't drive the car for a few days and noticed that the clock lost some time. My other cars have maintenance free batterys and I have never had this problem. The Acura battery seems to be an old style battery that requires maintenance.

My question is, should I try to add water or electrolite to the battery, or just replace it with a maintenance free battery? It is a certified car, but I doubt that the battery is covered under the warranty.
