The fact of the matter is they don't. Battery technology or case technology has improved drastically, and the density of the plastics is just not as porous as the old tar top batteries from many years ago. Feel free to leave your battery on cement, it's not going to discharge.     #### PRODUCTS - [Batteries](https://www.cdnrg.com/products/batteries) - [Power Conversion](https://www.cdnrg.com/products/power-conversion) - [Circuit Protection](https://www.cdnrg.com/products/circuit-protection) - [Power Management](https://www.cdnrg.com/products/power-management) - [Chargers & Testers](https://www.cdnrg.com/products/chargers-testers) - [Renewable Energy](https://www.cdnrg.com/products/renewable-energy) - [Recycling](https://www.cdnrg.com/services/battery-recycling) #### APPLICATIONS - [Transportation](https://www.cdnrg.com/applications/transportation) - [Backup Power](https://www.cdnrg.com/applications/backup-power) - [Utility & Electric Vehicle](https://www.cdnrg.com/applications/utility-electric-vehicle) - [Renewable Energy](https://www.cdnrg.com/applications/renewable-energy) #### ABOUT - [Our Team](https://www.cdnrg.com/about/our-team) - [Careers](https://www.cdnrg.com/about/careers) - [Our Story](https://www.cdnrg.com/about/our-story) - [Canada Proof Nation](https://www.cdnrg.com/about/canada-proof-nation) #### CONTACT - [Contact Us](https://www.cdnrg.com/help/contact-us) - [Dealer Finder](https://www.cdnrg.com/contact/dealer-finder) ![Canadian Energy Logo](https://blog.cdnrg.com/hubfs/CanadianEnergy_April2019%20Theme/image/canadian_energy_logo.png) [1.888.267.4687](tel:18882674687) [Follow us on Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/CanadianEnergy) [Follow us on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/canadianenergy/) [Follow us on Twitter](https://twitter.com/canadianenergy) [Follow us on Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/canadian_energy) [Follow us on Facebook](https://www.youtube.com/user/CDNRG) Copyright © 2023 Canadian Energy.
