bent crank ?

Before batteries were sealed and made of plastic, if you stored them on concrete apparently it would soak up something.

Todays batteries can be stored on concrete. Extremely old man at a battery warehouse told me that.

I also thought the crank thing was a wives tale, but I figured I would ask. I also think that a huge crank out of a semi would have more of a tendancy to bend than a crank out of a briggs. ANd I dont even think that would happen.

I guess my best bet is to turn the crank over to straighten it back up since it will be another three years before I install it in any thing at the rate things are going.
