Sealed lead battery position?

[Thomas Taylor-2]

I want to mount a sealed lead acid battery under the seat of my power
wheelchair.  There is limited space which would require the battery be mounted
on it's side.  Would this cause any problem/danger if proper insulating
techniques are utilized?

I want to power my 2mtr mobile unit for emcomm use without draining the chair's
battery and to power a couple of LED lamps.

Thanks, Tom  KG7CFC

A fully-sealed LA battery such as an AGM or Gel-Cell type usually can be
mounted in any position.  To be sure, though, check the manufacturer's
specs "just in case"...
