Lead Acid and NiCad battery storage

Lead Acid and NiCad battery storage

(OP)
Hi,
Any help with the following would be appreciated thanks.
  
My prior experience with batteries on ships has been that there always is a seperate battery compartment/locker for the lead acid cells and another for the Ni-Cad/Nife cells.  I have just recently come across a vessel where the seperate battery banks are planned to be in a combined locker. Is this an acceptable practice ??

RE: Lead Acid and NiCad battery storage

There are no regulatory requirements (say to Lloyds shipping regs)which insists on segretion of batteries types.A segretion is more out of choice.
A point to note is that Ni cad batteries (especially the sealed recombination type)are more widely used these days.
