OT/OFT Batteries and Pennies

[johncworden at verizon.net (John C. Worden)]

Well, if you live up north it will freeze in the winter sitting on 
concrete.  Of
course it will freeze sitting on a work bench, but the air temp varies, 
whereas
on a concrete floor, assuming it isn't radiant heated, it will be a fairly 
constant
  freeze, which is not good for a battery that is just sitting around(I 
have to
replace the one in the lawn tractor every spring-sitting around freezing).
