Battery storage

If you pull your battery out and store it, do not set it directly on a concrete floor or ground (earth). Even though today's batteries are mostly plastic cases, etc., there is still a current leakage. Put the battery on an old piece of dry wood as an insulator. Yes, I know this is from old times, but even today it is still a good idea even with a trickle charger.
