Quattro installation directly over Victron smart LifePO4 batteries

I would like to know if the Quattro installation manual prohibiting installation directly above batteries applies to Lifepo4 as well. With the tight space I have onboard, the most logical space is on a bulkhead adjacent and above my new LifePO4 smart batteries. With other Victron manuals (like Smart Solar MPPT) referring to "off gassing" of traditional batteries as the reason for not installing directly above, I'm wondering with LifePO4 if the same consideration applies.

Lithium batteries do not emit gasses under normal operating conditions, so installing a Quattro directly above Lithium batteries does not raise the same concerns.
