If you place the battery on the floor or concrete, that tends to "suck" the charge out of the battery. If you place on a piece of wood or wood workbench, this would eliminate any parasitic discharge. Of course this may be more prevalent with acid filled batteries rather than AGM. Just an old time thing I learned many, many years ago.

hey Barney.....thanks for the update!! I figured there were some changes made in recent years about this. But I would still place my battery someplace safe and out of the way, and definitely up off the floor!
Thanks!
Thanks!

well ok.... ya proved me wrong!! However I stand by my comments about my storing my battery. I did my auto repair and service work back in the 60's and 70's. Sometimes hard to change an old man's mind!! Regardless of where I store my batteries, they will be safe and out of the way. Thanks for proving me wrong!!!
