Hi all,

I know it can be done but have any of you actually done it long term?

I added a AGM battery bank for my residential refer install... two of the four are on their sides.

That's one reason AGMs are used on fighter jets. They work in any position.

Peggy's scooter, a Honda Silverwing 600cc twin, has the battery mounted horizontally with the terminals sticking out sideways. Never has been an issue with it.

Previous DP had a weird battery configuration. I used two AGM mounted on their sides, and wired in parallel for starting batteries. Several years and no issues.
