I have a house that has a UPS for my server rack, with extra beefy external batteries. Right now the lead acid batteries are inside the house inside the server closet. These are high-quality telecom lead acid batteries, but I’m doing some renovation and I could easily run some wires so that the batteries lived on the side of the house. My question is from a safety perspective, is it better to have the battery outside of the house, but subjected to higher temperature swings, vs inside the house in a temperature controlled environment. I’m not terribly worried about either scenario, but I’m just curious if anyone has an opinion?
