An electrical equipment cabinet is provided that includes an enclosure adapted to contain electrical equipment. A battery compartment, which is located in the enclosure, is adapted to contain at least one battery electrically coupled to the electrical equipment. The battery compartment has first and second opposing side walls, a bottom surface, and a first pair of vents located in the first and second side walls through which external air flows to remove heat. In addition, a second pair of vents, which are also located in the first and second side walls, allow gas emitted by the battery to escape by diffusion. A thermal stabilizing unit is disposed in the battery compartment for regulating the temperature of the battery in contact therewith. The thermal stabilizing unit has a conduit therein for conducting the external air flow between the vents in the first pair of vents.
