Bill, it takes thermal mass to make any amount of heat transfer from one object to another. So if you have a steel shelf that is say 1/4 inch or more thick and of some fairly large area, absolutely it will suck heat out of a battery and moisture will condense on it. I have never seen a steel shelf thicker than maybe 18 gauge. Yes, it will suck a couple BTUs out of the battery but in a minute thermal equilibrium is reached and virtually no more heat will leave. The concrete floor on the other hand will not pull as fast as steel but it will keep pulling 24-7 week after week. but after a day or two the battery temp will be much lower than when it was set there and subject to condensation. A place that I used to work had a forklift operator hurt fairly badly when he approached an open dock going to fast when humidity was high. He hit the brake but slid on the condensation right off the dock.
