Message	the plastic case is an insulator, period. The battery cannot go dead from sitting on a concrete floor. So, you say put a piece of wood btwn the bat and the floor, what's the difference btwn wood and the plastic case? None, they are both insulators. Why do you think they use plastic for wire insulation? Because it is an insulator. Otherwise, and wire in your house that touched anything concrete would short out. It's the same as my old college roomate swearing up and down that hot water freezes more quickly than cold. Thermodynamic impossibility, you need to remove more heat from the warm water before it reaches the frrezing point, period. Mike
