No
Unless you have another purpose, there will be no benefit to fuel economy.
Most std battery locations have battery set in a cooler area under bonnet with insulating covers/boxes, so that should be fine, an additional vent can be added using flexible hose if you feel additional cooling is required.
Running the accessories won't be an issue, but, look at the size of the wire that goes to the starter motor, as you increase the length of that wire, you will also need to increase the diameter so you don't lose voltage.
More cost/complications & no benefit, why would you do it?
