That was good information about storing batteries on a cement floor.

Do you have the link to the source.

In summary:

1) Because the battery cases are better that they once were storing a
battey on a cement floor will not **by it's self **accelerate self
discharge BUT.

2) The difference in temperature between the floor and the room CAN
accelerate sefl discharge so....

3) A cold cement floor and a warm garage might not be a good
combination.

So since it costs nothing I'm going to be sure NOT to store my
batteries on a cement floor. I dont know about you but my garage floor
is frequently much colder than the garage. (especially in bare feet
looking for a clean towel in the morning before a shower)

This is similar to the distilled water vs tap water debate. For the $2
per year I'll use distilled water.
