My LR handbook states “Keep the battery upright at all times- damage will be caused if the battery is tilted more than 45 degrees”. Mothing there about can, might or may. It’s definite, they say.

My sealed, lead-acid Delphi was on its end (i.e. perpendiculat, terminals pointing sideways) for about 10-15 seconds, so it sounds like I’ve damaged it. If so, what might that damage be?
 
Landies get winched up gradients way steeper than 45 degrees. And it can take a long time!

try not to worry so much :)

it'll be to do with acid leaking from breather holes or getting charged when the plates are out of the solution.

you are fine.
