That may not be the kind of maintenance you want. For several months I'd go out to the garage and sometimes, especially in the wee hours, find our Renault Zoe (your Leaf's cousin) humming faintly to itself, its instrument pod lit up. If I opened and closed the driver's door, a minute or two later I'd hear the contactors open and the car would go back to sleep. I finally thought to measure the open circuit voltage of the house battery. Ah. Changing the then-5-year-old SLI lead battery put paid to the car's insomnia. It also stopped the concerning drain on the main battery, which in one case I saw lose ~2% of its charge over about a week without being driven.
