Just normal car batteries, we put it down the the floor being colder than the plank of wood, PB batteries gave me half inch thick corrugated plastic sheets to use with their batteries to keep them off the stern and thinner ones to put between the batteries, I used them but didnt inquire why?
The sheets might be to reduce higher frequency vibration from the engine getting to the battery so as to reduce the chance of internal damage.

I thought it might have been a few years ago and they were the rubber/steel batteries, come to think of it at your age they could have been the wood/glass ones.

I've sometimes wondered about this. The consensus seems to be that unless you fully charge your batteries every couple of days that they sulphate and lose capacity. So, when you buy a brand new battery, unless it rolled off the production line within the past 48 hours it's already on its way towards being knackered. This is only the case if you discharge them. If they are fully charged, they can be left alone for a month or 3 without any mollycoddling. Obviously there will be some slight self-discharge, so eventually they should be re-charged.
