Where to keep batteries?

Yes using the re-bar as a ground is to protect against lightning strikes, lightning also strikes trees, should wood also not be used? Its completely different animal comparing the power of lightning and what it can flow through vs what a battery can flow power through.

Why not test it to prove all the battery manufactures wrong? Ground out a battery into your concrete floor and use a volt meter to see how much power is actually flowing into the concrete.

Does not sound like you know much about electricity and current flow. All you references are in respect to storage, not operation. I am tired of trying to tell you what can happen, and why. Good luck.

The bond of a contaminated battery in contact with the concrete resistance is unknown.

Or maybe it's known by the battery manufactures, and that is why that its listed as a non issue? Either way why are you arguing about it if you admit to not knowing? The real experts have listed it as a myth, you admit to really not knowing the answer, but are so adamant to argue that you are right.

Ok thats fine argue away, but this is my last post on the subject, and I personally I'm going to believe the battery manufactures on this issue over some random guy on an internet forum (who just admitted he really doesn

Oh I don't know, only been working with battery plants for over 30 years and worked with every major battery manufacture out there. Also have written a lot of battery plant standards for companies like ATT, Verizon with the battery manufactures input, and set on NEC code panel # 5 which covers NEC articles 250 (Grounding and Bonding) and 668 (Electrolytic Cells, and 690 (Photovoltaic System).
