I have said it in about 100 threads but I will say it again because I beleive you did the right thing by posting because you were not sure.
So, the Sprint must have an AGM battery which would be specified on the battery. Some of the offshore manufacturers will use prefixes that are similar to quality batteries but arent the same.
I am not sure what the "X" usually means AGM in part numbers and manufacturers seeem to be taking that as a standard identifier.
Deca, East Penn: ETX Yuasa: YTX You get the picture. By that picture I would say that it is not a AGM battery as they usually have screw caps that make an air tight seal. AGM batteries were made with that in mind. You can run them upside down and they dont leak as they dont have any acid floating around. It is absorbed into the glass mat..... cough cough Aborbed Glass Mat.
So in your case I would not lay that battery on its side. It will leak among other things.
OnD is partially right in that the "12-BS" is the universal number. The 12 is the BCI group size and the BS is the stud location and style. The letters before the 12 can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.
Hope that helps.
