Yes, a gel battery can lie flat without affecting its operation or performance. This is one of the advantages of gel batteries, as they do not contain liquid electrolyte that can leak, even if the battery is placed in different positions.
The electrolyte in a gel battery is immobilized in a gel-like substance, preventing it from leaking, even when the battery is lying flat. This makes gel batteries suitable for installations where limited space is available and where the battery needs to be placed in various positions.
However, it is important to note that the terminals of the gel battery are still susceptible to corrosion, and appropriate connections and terminal protection must be used to protect the battery from potential damage.
When in doubt, it is always advisable to consult the manufacturer's instructions for the gel battery regarding the correct installation, storage, and use of the battery.
