The thing about concrete with batteries or tires is the old and had some merit when automotive batteries and tires first became popular because of the way they were mfg, the process, assembly, and the compounds, used
The concrete used tended to be thirsty absorbing anything placed on it oil, water, acid, early rubber tires the compounds were chemically different than now being wetter more oil in the rubber to maintain softness and friction, they dried out more easily than modern tires, setting on porous thirsty cement sucking the oils out, early batteries were often wooden boxes lined inside and out with tar to keep the electrolyte/Acid inside, if the wood cracked or split, or the box sides or bottom started separating, the acid would leak to the cement, creating an electrical path/circuit that would drain the battery charge, self discharge plus sitting on the cement with a leaky case equal Dead battery.
In reality, Nether tire life or battery life have been a concern with concrete for many decades , since before most of us were born
