Dan, most SLAs do not care about which side they are lying on. Try to get
the manufacturer's recommendations. If in doubt do not put on side or
upside down. For short periods of time nothing will happen but in time
condensation and other effects may remove the electrolyte from the porous
membrane and make a liquid pool on something that will corrode. Not to
mention the reduction in capacity and the fact that the liquid pool will
cause liquid acid to seep out through the valve seal when the battery is
next heated by use or charging.
