Since you're questing to keep more heat under the hood, it may be a good idea to either:

Place the battery in a plastic box to reflect heat,

or

Consider relocating it to an area that is outside the oven that will become your underhood area.

Heat is detrimental to batteries just as much as cold is... there is a mean temperature at which they operate most efficiently.
