Maintenance-free battery?

Hi,

I skimmed through an article recently that talked about attempting the use of
"std" maintenance-free batteries on BMW's. The article talked about the 
batteries being different to what BMW normally puts in their cars and that
the alternator not being set up to charge such a battery. The output voltage
the alternator is set up for would not be enough to charge such a battery.

Is this true? I don't mind paying the price of the "real" battery, just want
to find out the "real" story.

Thanks,

Carl Gadener
