Default Can the battery be at a angle???

I am curious to know if I will ruin a battery buy leaning it back at a 30 degree angle???

I have relocated my battery and I really like where it is at,and how it looks, but My battery went out,and I am not sure if it was the bad rectifier I have been running on for months or because I have it at an angle.

My battery was 2 years old. R.I.P.

I'm not 100% certain, but it doesn't seem to me like keeping your battery at an angle would matter. I mean think about all the abuse that sucker gets when you're riding...

You can get a good dry cell battery and it won't matter what angle it is at. Can't you just leave your bike alone?
