46 woodie Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Probably a gel cell, similar to the Optama line of batteries that can be mounted any way you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not any way. I mounted an Optima on its side with the vent holes to the bottom. After a couple of years there was some typical battery damage on the tray and below it. When they say any position they should say as long as the vents are towards the top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Looks like the battery above doesn't have vents. I still wouldn't have it sideways. Also, what's with it being bug-eyed. You don't show the front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
