We have a 2013 Leaf and have replaced the 12V battery. In my opinion this battery should not exist. It's just something to break or wear out. Instead the DC/DC converter should run all the time (yes, it's possible to build such a converter that is efficient at low loads), and there should be some software to ensure that the total drain from the traction pack is not too large, with some way to reset the system when it has cut out for this reason.
