It'll be charged outdoors but used indoors for slight loads if the power goes.
Outdoors is hard on the battery, so you may have a false economy by using the deep discharge battery over the indoor gel cell. For outdoor use, you put rubber feet on the battery to form a thermal break. I'm sure you heard that old rumor about putting a battery on the garage floor ruins it. That isn't exactly true, but the garage floor provides a thermal path to the battery, and does shorten the storage time.
