In the end, it's a cost benefit analysis, and there are differing opinions, as the others have said.

The cost would be a potential overheat from an internal battery short or inappropriate charge vs the damage one might cause by popping turrets off (strips out the traverse mechanism) or cutting up a tank for special battery access doors. Some might say the potential battery danger is overstated, while others may say that the potential for tank damage is overstated...or that both can be reduced or managed by due care... It goes on and on.

Different folks will make this decision differently.
