It is still a wet cell. The plates are arranged in a cylindrical formation like you said, with a mat type material inbetween the plates. The mat maintains the electrolyte medium, which combined with the plate configuration allows for sideways mounting w/o fear of spillage/leakage while increasing the battery's structural integrity. Ive never heard of a red top not being aboe to be charged. In essence the alternator gives the battery a charge while its running. 164 shipped for an 800CCA 34/78 series isnt bad at all.
