Side post batteries top my list of the worst modern designs....
Too little contact area in the terminal.
Located below the electrolyte level so a broken seal results in a leak.
Almost impossible to clean the contact area.

Every car I've ever had with these batteries were immediately changed out for top post batteries.

Would have been a great thing on the old VW beetles when idiots threw away the cardboard liner under the back seat.
