The battery goes dead primarily becaust the floor is cold. The temperature combined with self-discharge promotes sulfation which ruins the plates of the battery. I strongly suspect that the only reason the battery doesn't go dead as quickly on a dirt surface is because cement tends to be quite cooler.
