Has anyone heard the myth about setting car batterys on concrete? Old rumor says the need to be placed on a wood pallet otherwise they will be damaged.
I ask an oldtimer about this once. He said it was true when the battery cases were made of wood and had dovetail joints along the sides. The jolt of setting them on solid concrete would loosen the dovetail joint.
