Neither contain free water that can escape.
Batteries with free water that can escape are known as FLOODED cell
batteries.

Wasn't that a movie "Free Water", no that was Willie. Carry
on.
I hope the OP's sealed garden tractor battery gives many
years of service. Bring the battery indoors for the winter.
Not on cement floor. Yeah, I know, that was the old rubber
cased batteries. Why take a chance.

Come on now Stormin, you must be older than dirt if you are still
worried about putting a battery on a cement floor. (I suppose that
should actually be a "concrete" floor?)

Actually, modern batteries with poly cases BENEFIT from being stored
on a concrete floor. Keeping a battery cool will slow down the
chemical reactions and prolong its life.

What? Talk a little closer to my hearing aid? I'll thump my
cane on the floor if I can hear you.
Some old advice, I just don't want to take the chance.
