BFL13, AGM batteries don't have to be outside and don't have to be vented, so having them "warm" inside is a non-issue as well.
That is what I meant by "brave or optimistic." Some years back the Moderator on this forum ripped me a new one for saying you could use AGMs inside safely (which I had read somewhere.) He quoted some US Coast Guard regs on that which were the result of a boat exploding where they had AGMs in an unvented compartment.
Some feel they can get away with it if they never overcharge the AGMs.
Since we are all over 21, the risk assessment is up to each of us.
