Before anyone says "that's been discussed a zillion times" I did do a search and gave up. I am asking this here rather then search the web because frankly I don't trust the opinion of half the yahoos who post on the web. Most yahoos on this forum are ferreted out and turned into hamburger fairly quickly so I trust most of the opinions here. My question is this. I have some lead acid batteries that I use to charge electric fences. I just set them on the ground and hook up to the fence charger. I have heard (could be old wives tale) that setting a battery on a concrete floor is not good for the battery. Would setting one in the dirt cause a problem? I can't see where it would discharge through the dirt. They sit in a steel battery tray in your car and they don't discharge. If it is true then what is the deal with concrete? Thanks.
