Well, there may be something wrong with his set up because I have three Meanwell supplies and a 350ma CC supply and a 12V 1 amp wall wart for the fan, all in the battery compartment and no input fusing but the 15 amp breaker that is on the AC circuit that supplies current to the pigtail. I know that the 15 amp breaker will trip before anything in the battery compartment gets hot enough to be a problem. Every place that I may be plugging in also will have a 15 amp breaker on the AC line, that is building code here in the US.
Oh yes, I charge the battery in temps up to 90F with no problems.
I dont fear a thing having them in the battery compartment. I have charged as long as 16 hours with this setup and had no breakers trip or any other failures.
I think he should check his wiring.
