Do not store it on the floor, especially a ground floor.
Store it on a wooden shelf or at least put a piece of plywood under it
wherever you store it.


This is an old urban myth!

What is inside the battery is acid and water, so if the case of the battery
can withstand that harsh stuff a little moisture from the ground is not
going to hurt it at all. In your car the battery usually sits on a metal
plate and is held down by a metal strap. If there was any "leakage" across
the battery case it would happen much faster in your car then if the battery
was sitting on the ground.

Keep it from freezing, keep it charged, and don't let it tip over and it
will be fine.
