So for tools, maybe inside a metal box or cabinet/shelf system, but not mixed with flammable chemicals.

For inside the home, probably in a metal box. It seems the likelihood of issues with cell phones, watches, tablets is likely MUCH lower, but never 0.
That's what I do for ALL mine and the FD recommends. You must also prevent them from freezing and anything that would damage the separator between anode and cathode.
