This battery can be used in any orientation without a problem. It can be charged in any orientation except upside down if you plan to charge while inside the robot. Don't forget that the battery also makes a great ballast/counter weight if you place it strategically in your robot. Securing the battery is essential, a small frame and 1" velcro work very well. A small case with a hinged cover that you can tywrap closed works as well.
