Let me fix that for you:
I find a simple dumb charger will wear a battery out faster than just leaving it unplugged.
But a real Battery Tender TM, that will totally save your battery. Keep it fully charged and healthier than just sitting. Will safely slow charge it, saving it if its heavily discharged, assuming its still saveable.
Totally get a Battery Tender...

Mine are not sitting on concrete. They sit on top of my wooden work bench with the tenders attached. I don't know about that concrete issue. Not taking chances though.

That's old-school advice (I'm old enough to know, lol). This is no longer true of today's batteries, in fact a concrete floor is actually a good place to store them.

My thoughts exactly. As informative as everyone around here is about the S2K, rare is the day that I actually have something helpful to share beyond what others contribute. That's fine by me, I'll happily take in more than I can give when it comes to knowledge. It seems that I'm always willing to learn more when it comes to things that truly interest me.
