[R-390] storage

[Dan Arney]

Bob, You are correct for sure. Recently I believe in Popular Science 
there was an article from the Battery Mfr. Association that stated that 
there was no requirement to place a battery on wood or any special 
surface for use or storage. A lot of battery places use wood 
shelves/pallets etc. due to the corrosion resistance of spilled acid.
I have 2 large Gel cells in steel cases on concrete for over 2 years 
with no reaction action or adverse discharge problems. 2 more in my van 
for my KW amp in addition to the 2 lead acid batteries all being charged 
off of the alternator with no problems, all mounted on steel.

Another old wives tale down the drain.
