I have heard that if you sit a battery on the ground or concrete that it
will lose its charge faster. Is this true?

If the ground or concrete is cold enough to freeze it, yes. Otherwise,
that's just an old wive's tale.

It was actually true of the old hard-rubber cased batteries.

Electrons WOULD leak through the porous case to ground - eventually
discharging the battery.

It is NOT true of today's batteries.
