The sealed lead acid battery, or gel cell, is not the same thing as an automotive battery or deep cycle marine battery (or motorcycle battery for that matter). It really is sealed and leak proof, you can use it upside down or on end if you want to. As well as the brand previously mentioned, they are made by firms such as Yuasa and Panasonic. And yes, they really do develop a memory.
