No. They need to be protected from the elements, like rain, dust and standing water. With voltage applied, water forming on the leads causes corrosion and reduces very quickly the battery's ability to product the level of current they were originally rated for when new. Eventually enough corrosion will form at both ends and then the electrical connection will be lost, and/or the battery case will leak and cause great damage to the insides of whatever they are installed in.
