Back up to 14.4 while charging. The original 2013 Leaf battery registered 6vdc at
rest and the Leaf won't" function without a 12v source. I don't see why a
starter battery is needed. There are inexpensive motorcycle Lithium batteries
available. Maybe one of those little things would last longer. Lawrence Rhodes
7 years (2013-2020) is a pretty good run for an ordinary car battery. Do
you need more life?
No; you don't need a starter battery. But a deep-cycle type (AGM or gel)
would be a good choice. The main stress on the battery is if you leave
it parked and unplugged for weeks on end. All the parasitic loads on the
12v battery are what will run it dead.
