I'm not talking about hooking up the microwave to heat up my coffee, I'm talking about upside down!  Now the big white "do not drink" sticker across the top has turned green. What the  :scratch:. It's a HD agm. I thought these were a sealed unit but I guess it leaked. Any of you mediums see a new battery in my near future?

You should not mount them upside down. Upright or on a side is fine.

Custom bikes sometimes have odd set ups, maybe the cable route works out better to hide them when the battery is upside down.

Yeah, I wanted to save weight by running shorter cables  :hyst:
I did not install the battery upside down. I'm not a complete idiot, parts of me are missing  :wink:
The battery fell off the bench. Case looks ok but possible internal damage. I was puzzled about the sticker turning green. My alternator rotor also fell off the bench.
