Orientation of SLA batteries

avidscavenger · May 26, 2022

Hello,
I have recently bought some ex-telco SLA batteries. I want to ask whether there is a recommended way to sit them, ie upright or on their side (and if so, which side). I've attached a couple of photos.
Thanks!

Here's a pdf

Thank you. That PDF seems to indicate a layout of the batteries but it's not clear to me whether that is the way they must be oriented or simply one option.

My guess is that is a vent between the terminals and if so I would put them vertical so the vent is up.
