48V battery in remote desert location
(OP)
I need to find a 48V, 50 Ah batteries for remote substation in desert locations. The batteries should be instated in cabinets without ventilation. The temperature inside of the cabinets can reach 130F. Life expectancy 15-20 years with low maintenance requirements. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

There are some flooded NiCad recombination cells which have 'low' maintenance requirements, or you could go for the sealed variety which is maintenance proof (but not maintenance-free

To the greatest extent possible, the cells should be separated from each other or anything else, so a little natural convection has a hope of cooling the cell walls.
