<<Yes, definitely use RG batteries. They are sold at stores such as
Batteries Plus as alarm system batteries (They call them gel-cell)....>>

RG batteries are a different technology from the gell cell batteries that
are used in alarm systems.  RG batteries utilize a fiberglass mat that is
injected with electrolyte.  They can be operated in any position and will
not leak.  You could drive a nail through the battery and not get
appreciable amounts of electrolyte to spill out.  You can't do that to a gel
cell. As far as I know, RG batteries are available from two sources:  Concorde
Battery and B&C Specialty Products.
