Batteries on Concrete [RE-wrenches]

[Richard Perez, Home Power magazine]

Hello Bill

The statement that concrete floors will, "Suck the energy out of 
batteries." is a myth.

This is a thermal issue. concrete floors tend to be in basements and 
cold. Batteries placed on those floors will always remain cold. Just 
add about 2 inches of super good foam board insulation under the 
batts and you're in.
