Needed to shoehorn my Optima RedTop into friend's Jag X-Type this morning and to get cables connected, laid it on its side. I know you can do this, being gel, but for how long?

When I picked up my Optima the sales guy bragged they could mount anyway but upside down. Also mentioned you could crack the housing and the battery would still be usable. Or as he put it "Shoot it and it will still work". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif)
