Here are some interesting reads regarding batteries and their ventilation. I think we may have some confusion regarding what kind of battery we are using. I believe it is a valve regulated battery which mean that ventilation is necessary but charging it on it's side with proper ventilation should be fine.
I may be wrong but that's what I have gathered so far. We charge ours upright because it's just easier. They get proper ventilation (no worries there) and are easier to access.
