Don't you believe it Jim. As an electrician I can tell you otherwise. In the not too distant past (2002) I had to install a 480 volt back up emergency system. Installing them was a union jurisdictional work issue. What emerged was the fact that voltage bled out over the slightest dirt or imperfection to a ground which in this case by virtue of common imperfections resulted in me repeatedly shockingly the holy city out of myself until the factory rep finally told me what was going on.

I can assure you, batteries over time will bleed off power over a path of impurities, be it a dirty battery face or a concrete floor. As an electrician I can attest that what holds true at 480 volts holds true at 12 volts. Time (and in this case we seem to be talking months if not a whole midwest winter) is going to have a very real affect.
