So I finally remembered to look at the paperwork that came with my battery from Wally...
It was just a store receipt with a "date validation" for warranty. No instructions or anything else came with it. Nothing like that on the battery. SO, I will assume it is my job to maintain it.

When I got the car home after my 1700 mile trip from SC, three cells needed quite a bit of water (plates well exposed), and some low, so I topped it all off with distilled water.
Now, about 1000 miles later, no water was needed.
Makes me wonder if it even came filled properly from the store!
