I generally think that people overworry batteries being inside, but this may be due to the fact that I work with both large (forklift) and small batteries (floor scrubber l16's)indoors every day as part of my job. I used to use a group 29 battery inside my house, in a plastic battery box on my small system. When I went to a larger battery bank, I installed 4 of the same type battery (They are the large group 29's you get at wally world...the last one lasted for 4 years and is still kicking as my shop battery) two in plastic boxes on a rack I built, and 2 more in an old battery box that I built awhile back. To combat the temperature issue, I installed a Trace C-35 charge controller with a temp sensor to adjust the rate of charge. Seems to work well.
