I have heard that it can drain the battery faster than usual, but have heard recently that that is an urban legend.

Any factual input anybody knows of?



heres the deal. todays car batteries have no problems sitting on the ground. decades ago however, if you put a car battery on the ground it would slowly discharge itself. im not quite sure why but i think it has something to do with teh battery "being grounded". again you should be able to put a modern car battery on the ground and not have any problems, although most people still dont recommend it for some reason.
