Even a Yellow Top is the wrong battery for the job in your Leaf. It too is optimized for engine starting. But it does have enough amphour capacity to also support the large number of "always-on" computer loads in modern cars that will run down the batter in a few weeks if you don't have a high enough amphour capacity.
Lee HartIf 41 lead acid amp hours is adequate for a Leaf how many LiPO amp hours do you need? If I knew how much a Leaf used daily I could calculate the proper sized battery for as many months unused a Leaf has to endure. 20ah should work for weeks. Since LiPO performs better than lead then a smaller battery should work and could be sized for even a year however the smart thing to do as with an ICE...simply use a battery tender or fully charge every few weeks from external sources...maybe a little solar panel in the windshield some Leafs have it built in.
