SLA battery orientation

Hi all, I would like to know if I could position a SLA battery without limitations, I mean if I can lay down or I have to keep it vertical. I need to put it into a robot and charge it onboard. TIA,

Hi Giuseppe -- I don't think it should matter much assuming it's a gel cell. I've mounted these both sideways and right-side up.

It is a standard gell type I guess, I was worried about charging and when it needed venting. I asked this also on sci.electronics.misc, in the meantime thank you, I was thinking is okay but I want to be sure.

Well, it seems that maybe there are some catches, for example I found two informations:

- all orientations except upside down for extended periods

- all orientations except when charging ...

Hmmm -- I haven't hadproblems sideways, even when charging, but I must admit I've never kept one upside down.
