access the battery, remove the caps over the holes, and add distilled water. Having a flashlight
helps you see the water level-Leave it about a half-inch below the top of the holes.

removed stickers, the cover that goes across will not come off
I'm to a point where i physically damaged the cover(more cosmetic than physical actually)
the cover goes all the way across the battery right?
I'm going to take a picture of it

You will see a gap between the battery cell cover..
and the battery itself. A small screw driver on the front and back or left and right side ..pry gently together and it will rise.

What you want is to go to Autozone...
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/63674/bat_1.jpg"></center><p>and for free they will test the battery. You can also check the date of install of the battery as it carries its own pro-rated warranty.
To open it up pry around the edge of each cover. Wher I marked your shot in red.

indicates the battery is not holding a charge.
There are many reasons for this. 1 of whic is as simple as you cables are dirty or not tight enough. So you can't get the car started nor can it recharge completly.
Check the terminals.
