for some reason years ago the battery case used to be made out of a very dense porous material. nothing could leak out but setting it on concrete will drain a battery. Also when storing a battery dont leave them directly on concrete or they will be alot faster than using a chunk of wood as an insulator.

im not sure if thats true with modern batteries or not but how hard is it to throw a 2x4 or something under the battery?

I always clamp the charger leads right on the terminals of the battery without disconnecting everything. never had a problem. if possible i charge the battery in the car just because its easier. Now if i had a buick or air cooled VW i would remove it from the car so the interior doesnt fill up with ozone or if sparks happen it doesnt ruin the interior...

only time i remove it is when the car isnt near an outlet...
