This is a very common urban (and rural for that matter) legend. Assuming it is physically capable of supporting the weight of battery, the composition of the surface upon which a battery is stored has no bearing on battery life in storage. The cells of the battery are separated from the surface by the case of the battery. What is very important for successful storage is charge state. Lead acid batteries self discharge and must be charge maintained or will quickly sulfate if left discharged. Also discharged batteries can freeze causing physical and chemical destruction. All this carnage will occur however regardless and completely independent of the surface upon which the battery is stored. Conversely a battery that is kept properly charged can be stored successfully on any surface that will support it. Heck- hang it from the ceiling if you want to, just don't let it go dead....Hope that helps.
