Just wait until you find out about hydrogen sulfide from overcharged car batteries.

Also, I think HCN can be scrubbed by adding a special absorptive cap onto the battery.

Or you could just have the batteries in a separate enclosure away from your house. I think I would be inclined to do this anyway, certainly for Lithium batteries given the possibility of fire.

hydrogen sulfide is not anywhere in the same category. When you consider failure you have to consider what is the most catastrophic possibility and if that is “this battery silently kills people” then you dont make it.
