I am not sure what you mean by SLA battery maintenance. These are sealed batteries and there is nothing you can do for maintenance except to charge. While they likely will not tolerate no use for a year or more, a few months is not a problem.
I recommend you check out the Battery University site for some really good info on batteries.

LiFePO4 chemistry doesn't have the safety issues of other Lithium chemistries.
I'd argue they're actually safer than the SLA for FRC use.
