Plastic cases retarding heat radiation instead of metal, and batteries packed together with no air space between, probably don't help. These do speak to the desirability of external battery placement. What stops me from trying external batteries is these things usually need more than one battery, with installation/placement logistics complicating further, times the number of locations needed.
You forget the rather intense heat generated when the unit is actively working, during a power failure. They are designed for short periods of "work".
I forget no such thing. Their heat production and fans keep me quite aware, causing running the cooling system more and the heating system less according to season. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
