I have read with interest a number of posts on this site regarding 12 volt batteries either getting weak or dying.
Perhaps I'm just lucky or got an "exceptionally good" 12 volt battery, but I've never had any issues with mine and it will be 7 years old in May.
I don't do anything special - no charging the 12 volt battery, no checking the water, no measuring the voltage. It just works.
Anyone else out there have a 2011 Leaf that still has the original 12 volt battery and having no issues with it?
My 2011 has about 27k miles on it and 3 bars down on the battery capacity meter.
With ICE cars that I've owned, I always replace the battery when it's 6 years old no matter what to avoid "sudden battery death" leaving me stranded somewhere. Since the Leaf has a relatively cool environment under the hood, I surmise that helps add life to the battery.
