[Shop-talk] AGM battery: OK to lay it on its side?

[DAVID MASSEY]

I was a principal in a small company that designed and built electric powered transportation assisting devices for heavy medical devices and patient transport and we used AGM batteries a lot.  In many applications they were oriented on their sides.  No issues associated with that orientation.

 I could swear that I used to run an AGM battery meant for a Honda Gold Wing, laid down flat in my Lotus Elise. That car has gone away.
I bought a Birkin and there is a larger automotive AGM battery lying on its side.  This battery won't fit in there standing up with the terminals on top.  Is it OK to continue to use the mounting done by a previous owner?
