AGM battery orientation and box

[Brindle]

Hi, fitting an AGM battery tomorrow as a leisure battery via a ctek. It’s. 95ah Yuasa AGM and I was going to fit it on its side as you gain a cm or two of extra space, but it’s says on the battery that it must be kept upright (I thought all AGM batteries could be installed on their side). So, do I need a battery box as well? It’s a permanent installation so if not, can I just put a wooden brace in to keep it in place?

TIA.

Just so you‘re aware that 20Kg battery will have a mass of 650Kg if it stops from 60MPH within 10m. You might want to fit a different restraint instead of the wood.
