I think those cars are exceptions rather than the rule (And the 911 too!). On the turbomachinery I used to work on, we had enclosures for the batteries, but positively ventilated specifically to prevent buildup of H2 gas and to keep acid away from other vital components. If the ventilation failed, an alarm would go off. The older systems, the batteries we're in a covered outside rack.

_I_ for one will not put a battery, sealed or otherwise, in an enclosed space.
