Can an AGM battery be installed in any position?
In most applications, batteries are installed in an upright position, but in some situations there is a need to tilt them (sometimes at very extreme angles) or lay them completely flat on their backs. Yuasa typically supplies AGM batteries with separate acid packs that you must fill (and charge) yourself. We do not recommend that this type of battery be installed on it’s side, or even an extreme angle, due to possible leakage occuring. Fortunately, Yuasa offers many AGM batteries as “Factory Activated”. Generally this type of battery is safe to install in almost any direction. If there is any question of a particular vehicle/battery/installation please contact us for our specific recommendation before attempting to use battery.
