An interesting thing to be concerned about, given average temperature exposures 
compared to consumer electronics devices with usually inadequate cooling, 
compared to LiFePo4 in a UPS, which has been my baseline for years now as SLA's 
age out.

In a UPS, even I would be concerned. It's such a cramped space, and Li-Ion are 
not as resilient as LA when exposed to high ambient temperatures. That does not 
mean they will catch fire, but it surely means they will age significantly 
faster.

But for a standard home stationery backup, Li-Ion just fine. I'm coming up on 6 
years for my deployment, which is housed in my garage. 700Ah battery pack 
spread across 7x 100Ah 48V LFP batteries.

Mark.
