@Spartan All good advice. The batteries in question are AGM and gel cell types (two separate power supplies), and I have a tray ready.
The chargers/power supply boards are Altronix current limited systems designed for fire and burglar alarm duty with gel/agm backups, so overcharging is not much of a danger.
@JWilliams
Excellent! I've been around a couple of UPS fires and they're no joke. Glad you're ahead of the curve!
