Now I am not an EE, but I will attempt some thought on this.
Please note that this is all just my thoughts, without any actual learning other then experience and logic behind them.
Electricty is not noticable affected by gravity. (assumption)
So the flow of electrons is not affected by orentation.
However, depending on the construction of the battery internaly, the orentation could change the way the parts interact in the energy exchange. (I've become fuzzy on how batterys specificly work, other then diffrences in materials does something) My car battery prolly wouldn't work very well much longer if upside down. IE a liquid not contacting with poles as much. But as our batterys are solid, or at least have no slosh, then this would not matter.
So I am going to make the conclusion that the orentation of the battery does not matter for the efficently, barring construction.
