When I don't drive it for a while, my 2013 Leaf won't start. The console is completely unresponsive.
This has been happening on and off for years and I've replaced a few 12V batteries. The current one is from 2017 (but it sat unconnected for 10 months in 2019).
The last few times, in the morning when I get in, it powers up, but won't go into R. I assume this means it does not have enough 12V juice?
So then I cuss and I trickle charge it and the next day it works fine. Constantly trickle charging seems silly, you know?
How can I figure out what is draining the battery? Or is it something else?
Enquiring minds want to know. Please help.
