Since there were a couple of comments on batteries, figured I'd add my 2 
cents.  In my years of training, batteries can't be discharged by setting 
them on any particular surface.  When most people set a battery down on 
concrete (or any unprotected place), dust and dirt settle on it forming a 
short between the terminals, hence the discharge.

Either that or they set them down and leave them for a year or so and these
things will self discharge if given enough time.
