OT-Sealed Rider Mower Battery

I need a truly sealed 300-350 amp lawnmower style battery for a lincoln weldanpower. The ones I have used (TSC, Interstate) leak if they are tipped at all. The batter will always sit at an angle on the welder due to the mounting of said machine.

Does anyone make a completely sealed battery like this? I would rather not have battery acid leaking out and chewing on the battery box.

heck high end motorcycle batteries. Think I found AGM battery at Yamaha.

P.S. Engine oiling OK at that mounting position?
 
Since posting, the local Interstate Battery shop has one that should work fine. A deep cycle gell cell (AGM?) the local school district uses on wheelchairs and zero turn mowers. Sounds like the ticket to me.

I have talked about this machine before--sits cocked on a motorcycle trailer--but it is an old I/C 16hp Briggs that has sat at that angle for some time (25 years), and has not burned up for lack of oil. Change oil every year or so due to lack of use; use NAPA or Walmart 10w-30 synthetic; and it runs like a scalded dog and is LOUD. Typical 1980s Briggs single sparkie engine.
 
A gel battery should work, if a battery has acid in it, even if it is a "sealed" or maintenance free battery, it will require a vent hole somewhere.I think I would simply weld up a battery box and mount it on a level plane and solve the problem. JMHO.
