Absolutely, unequivocally NOT.

Even if the ground is frozen YET the battery is fully charged, it still will
not discharge.

I can't believe that this wife's tale still persists and that some will go
to their grave arguing that it is true.

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