Will storing my car or motorcycle battery on a concrete floor ruin it?

No, you can put a car or motorcycle battery on a concrete floor without any problems. The long-standing belief that a concrete floor will “drain” or “kill” a modern car battery is a myth. This popular rule of thumb was once true for early automotive battery technology. But thanks to advancements in materials, the batteries we use today are completely safe to place on any surface, including concrete.

While there are rare instances that a hearing aid will use a rechargeable battery, the majority of them use one of the standard Button Cell Zinc-Air batteries.

Batteries periodically need exercising and maintenance to prevent sulphation from building up on the battery plates. Batteries that sit unused for a long period of time (longer than four weeks) need a maintainer.

Consider a water fountain in the middle of a cold winter. The water freezes because it sits dormant. Running water never freezes because the molecules are always in motion.

The same is true for your batteries. Maintaining the battery keeps the molecules in motion. When maintained, sulphation won’t rear its ugly head (just like the ice in a flowing fountain).
