Upgrade to an AGM battery. You can safely mount them inside, and upside down, and they will out-perform any flooded battery you ever owned! Here's a quote from another thread. It's typical of other...

Flooded Electrolyte Advantages:
Lowest initial cost - True!!
Higher cranking amps so excellent for starting applications - False. In many cases AGM's offer higher CCA than FLA's do
Water can be added when over charged - True
Tolerant of improper recharge voltage - True, as long as electrolyte level is monitored. IMHO, this is the #1 FLA advantage!
Certain designs are good for deep cycle applications - True, but not more so than AGM's
Replacements readily available True, but not more so than AGM's. For example, the DieHard Platinum's are available at hundreds of Sears stores across the country.
Good under extreme cold conditions when fully charged. True, but given the same temp' & SOC, AGM's outperform FLA's
