Lines: 14 [Yummmmmmmmmm..............Yum.............................] I've heard that it's a *REAL* good idea *NOT* to store a battery on a conductive surface, although why concrete is considered conductive is a mystery - wood seems to be the surface of choice. Also, you want to make sure that the fluid levels are full and that it has a full charge. *NEVER* add battery acid to one that's been stored for awhile (They tend to blow up....).
