I had always heard that you should not place a battery on
concrete but thought it an old tale. Well, couple of weeks back I had a marine
battery sitting on the floor with a very good NAPA dynamic charger and after a day went to
the shop, smelled something and it was that battery smoking. I cut power to
building and let everything cool off and clear. I come to find out that the
battery had grounded itself to the concrete. This also explains to me now what
a 6 V I was charging for my 55 Dodge was discharged after sitting on a 3 amp
charger for several days.
