RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] electrolyte plumbing

["Smyth, Alec" <Alec.Smyth@compuware.com>]

Just a word of caution. I discovered by experience that I could store
Lifeline AGM batteries in all positions but could only charge them in a
normal position. When I charged them upside down, even with an advanced
CPU-controlled charger specifically for AGMs, I got acid spillage.
