Yes, they are AGM lead-acid, but with a different electrolyte than a standard lead-acid.

The performance benefits are uncertain - that's what Perry is going to find out - but all AGM and gel batteries can be used in any orientation that doesn't place the relief valve facing downward. Operating orientation is not an advantage of these batteries, and I haven't seen any manufacturer, distributor, or user of them claiming this as an advantage.
