what I think has very little to do with it,
it's basic common sense, batteries by their chemical process produce a highly explosive gas,
whether it vents,leaks through damage, or any other means its not a good idea to be close to it, smoking or cooking in proximity to it has pretty dumb, have you ever seen a battery explode? I have, the results were not pretty, it was only the guys spectacles that saved his eyes.
but then people don't always do the sensible thing do they.
a quick search will provide plenty of photos of melted bivvys,etc sometimes with fatal results.

Show us a link to a bivvy that has burned down after a 12v sealed lead acid battery exploded while not on charge.

Got it in one 👍
The extra size vibrator i take fishing with it uses a 24v lorry battery, and after a few complaints I have to use it with the door down. Never had a problem with gas igniting.

I know. Everything Ridgemonkey make will burn your bivvie down.

SLAs are not considered flammable.
If there is a fire they will burn, if you short or overcharge them their is a risk they'll catch fire.
SLAs are used in uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) for computer / IT equipment backup from a power outage. So suitable for indoor usage.
Though I would keep them and all battery packs in a safe place (a box, away from the bivvy) when not in use.

This will only be suitable if your controller and motor accepts Lithium power source.
If it's for a SLA (old 12-24v) this won't be suitable unless you wanna risk your whole barrow!!
If you have a conversion like Globals do then that battery will defo be ok.
