The batteries were located close enough to the side vent that they would occasionally spew acid fumes out the side and mark the paint on the fender and door when a cars charging system was set a little too high. I can remember seeing more than a few Cobra's with paint damage from this problem.
Probably not an issue with today's sealed batteries but I don't think being that hot would be good either.
