keeping a sealed lead acid battery on its side?

[michelevit]

just wondering if a sealed lead acid battery can be set on it’s side?

I am building up my amp case and am planning it in CAD. The battery is a sealed lead acid
commonly found in home alarms. By placing it on its side, the case can be significantly lower in height.
thanks for reply and thanks for the great forums. I have learned a great deal from just lurking here.

any reply is greatly appreciated.

Since the electrolyte is held by a glassmat
separator and plates, the battery
can use in any direction and position
without leakage.

Here is the link to a spec sheet.
