With that battery, I would say lying it flat would be a problem. It does
not look sealed.
Even with a sealed battery having them laying in different orientations can
cause an imbalance. However, with sealed batteries I would not worry about
it as long as you have a decent charging scheme and are careful not to
discharge the batteries to the point that you might reverse a cell.

Hi guys, I'm currently working on converting a Honda NSR 80
Planning to use the ALECo 28Ah battery.

My only question is would it be a bad thing to have 1 battery lying flat
instead of sitting upright?
Like this?

It's a really SMALL bike but I'd still like to have 36volts in it.
