"Long ago, when battery cases were made out of natural rubber, this was true. Now, however, battery cases are made of polypropylene or other modern materials that allow a battery to be stored anywhere. A battery's rate of discharge is affected by its construction, its age, and the ambient temperature. The main issue with storing on concrete is that if the battery leaks, the concrete will be damaged." This was taken from the Trojan Batteries website

Will putting car a battery on concrete kill the battery?
No. This myth comes from two places. One, the cold of the concrete ruins the batteries storage ability. If that was true every battery would need replaced after every cold winter night. Two, the electricity leaks out of the battery because the concrete provides completed circuit. If that was true then why are batteries stored on metal shelves at part stores and car dealerships. Steel is a much better conductor than concrete.
