Mark, did you leave the Leaf plugged in to charge while it was parked (or when measuring the ghost load)? I have been told that when plugged in, the 12V battery will be drained faster after charge completes because the various modules on the vehicle remain awake and communicating via CAN (but the vehicle DC/DC is off and charging ceases). As a result, it is counterintuitively advised to leave the vehicle *unplugged* when parked for longer periods, because the modules will go to sleep and consume less power. We haven't had any issue with the 12V battery on our 2016 or, now, our 2020, but we also haven't had occasion to leave either parked for an extended period. Hope this helps, Roger. _______________________________________________ Address messages to ev@lists.evdl.org No other addresses in TO and CC fields UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub ARCHIVE: http://www.evdl.org/archive/ LIST INFO: http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org
