A good AGM is absorbed glass mat, no vents, no loose acid. Mount sideways, on end or wherever you like. Gel, same deal, any direction except upside down, that is from my own corporate sales information. I like fitting the batteries so they are snug, getting loose is the dangerous part. Lithiums more so since they can explode by themselves if shorted, AGM not so much.

Well, I was thinking particularly about the GC-2 case style, usually 200 to 220 ah, but the height will be a problem,,, 10-1/4" X 7-1/8" X 11-1/4" L X W X H. Cheapest I have found is $86 at Sams Club. That is a 6v golf cart battery. Around 60lbs. A 12v Group 31 at about 105 ah is 12.93" X 6.75" X 8.74" so plenty short on the height. Just about any place has these. I have two from NAPA for my house bank and starting the Atomic, currently. Don't remember what they cost. They are about 70lbs each. Remember that you want your Batts athwartship not running fore and aft, on a sailboat, if possible. When you are heeled over you might partially expose the plates out of the electrolyte if they are aligned fore and aft.
