A single lead-acid battery is putting out such a tiny amount of hydrogen. Put it in any room. It's a big fat nothing in a fire too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndfe0c00gwo Something could short but shorts are possible and dangerous even if no batteries are involved.

Or get a LiFePo battery and put it in a metal tub.

That looks like enough fire that spreading to my wooden floors or desks, carpets or skirting boards seems more likely than not?

It burns about as well as any random piece of electronics in a plastic shell. Any of those could spread too. If you want a battery that's less flammable everything else in the room I guess you're out of luck, but I don't think that's a reasonable standard.
