I have not seen this topic addressed, but apologies if this is oft-covered ground.
I understand that the Leaf draws current from its 12 volt battery to power lights and accessories--including, I assume, those systems that need constant current during off mode--computer memory, anti-theft monitoring, clocks, etc.
I also understand that the PbAc battery is recharged by the LI battery. What i can't seem to find is just how and when this is done.
EV wisdom says don't leave the car at 100% charge for "very long." But wouldn't the normal PbAc battery drain as I described above reduce the charge level on the LI battery anyway?
