How hot is hot? I commented elsewhere in this thread that the battery
compartment of my UPS is about 10 degress Celsius above ambient. I'm
wondering whether I should extend the leads, and put them outside the case.


Generally cooler is better, but that doesn't sound at all excessive
unless the room the UPS is in is also very warm.
