It probably would depend on the enclosure and/or whether there is
insulation around the rest of the battery. If the battery has an
insulation blanket around it, the heat from the heat mat should
propagate through the entire battery. Heat does rise.

If you get those heater mats under the battery will you have a
temperature gradient where the battery is warmer on the bottom than
the top? Will that hurt anything?
Suppose the charger has a temperature probe as well. My instinct is
to tape it to the same top post as the thermostat probe. I figure the
lead post tells me more about the temp inside the battery, and if
they're on the same post then the charger and heater are working off
the same assumption. Is that reasonable or would you do it differently?
I may be at risk of fussing over details that don't matter much, but
it's in my nature I guess.
