Battery mounting directions

DailyDriverSst · 09-25-2021, 09:30 PM

Right now I have my 1 battery mounted parallel to the bedside, in right front corner of the bed.

I'm wanting to move it to the right rear corner of the bed, and add a second battery.

I recall being told that a wet battery should be mounted a specific direction, because acceleration can cause plates to short out. Is that lengthwise or transverse?

I'm also considering adding a second battery. Should I put both batteries together in RR corner, or put second in left rear corner?

Front axle: 2,470 pounds
Rear axle: 1,740 pounds
Total: 4,220 pounds
(plus my 190 pound self)
