Our Leaf's OEM 12v battery was dead after 4 years....I replaced it with
an AGM, hopefully that one will last longer.

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

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.
