I think this is an electrolytic reaction between the
battery and the concrete as opposed to an electomagnetic
field. (Correct me if I am wrong!) This is similar to
bare steel rusting extremely fast when it touches
concrete. But I doubt you need more than simply a
separation between the battery and the concrete. Try a
rubber mat or similar that can be rolled up. (anything
light)
Anyhow, how come the battery itself isn't sheilded since
it is already encased in plastic?

And this is not off topic if it keeps us from
discharging our batteries. Thanks for the heads up!
