When furpod says battery cases are [lastic he is referring to the one that the plates and acid are in from the factory, not the case on the front of the Pod.  Batteries and concrete have not reacted for a number of years.

Darn it, batteries and concrete are ok now that battery cases aren't made of wood? another urban legend bites the dust LOL. If we keep exploding all these myths nothing will be any fun anymore.

[QUOTE=furpod]Just a note, now that battery cases are made of plastic, you no longer have to worry about setting them on concrete..
+2, +3 +4, +5  Yeppir, Furpod is 100% correct AGAIN.  We have put our 2 12volt group size 24 batteries from our 177 on our CONCRETE floor inside our UNHEATED garage since November 2011, during the winter months, with no ill effects.  All I do is trickle charge each at 2 amps for a day or until fully charged in November and check the water levels and add distilled water if any cells are low.  They then sit there, all lonely while the winter winds blow, the snow flies and the temps get well below 0.  Then, the following spring in April I do the same thing, trickle charge each for a day or two, check water levels and put back in the pod as soon as the snow melts so I can get the pod out of the horse barn out on the back 20 acres.
