My preference is to charge upright. Truth is it really doesn't matter 99.9% of the time. My UPS has one of its batteries permanently upside down. The battery manufactures generally do not recommend this. Flat is OK. AGM & glass mat batteries have very little free liquid in them. Using a smart charger & charging at recommended charge rates is more important then battery orientation.
