Boomin660 Posted September 27, 2008 Report Posted September 27, 2008 If you put a car battery on the floor it will drain it. When I was growing up working with my dad and grandpa any tine i took a battery out they always told to put a board between the battery and the floor because otherwise it would drain overnight. But the only way it could be drained is if you have something hooked up that uses power right? Quote
Torres Posted September 27, 2008 Report Posted September 27, 2008 not any floor...you cant put it on concrete Quote
reinke Posted September 27, 2008 Report Posted September 27, 2008 not any floor...you cant put it on concrete even that is not true. it is a myth from when batteries had glass cases. i left my new castle deep cycle's on the concrete floor in my garage before i put them in my truck. they did not change voltage. i have even had a brand new battery for my wife's cavalier on the floor for over a year now and it still reads 12.4. the same as the day i bought it.

reinke Posted September 27, 2008 Report Posted September 27, 2008 that's what i've done before so i was thinking that was right i usually set a towel down just so it not sitting on concrete and getting scratched up. Quote ----reference's---- meade916
