Thanks Roger It was unplugged in the garage for 3 weeks. Sounds like the Leaf doesn’t wake up the dc dc converter when the 12v battery discharges like my Tesla and Bolt does. Guess I’ll keep a solar float charger on the battery when parked. Best regards Mark Sent from my iPhone On Dec 10,

Like pretty much all modern cars, there is a high standby load. The bulk of it is the security controller constantly pinging for the fob for the "keyless" entry system. If you aren't going to drive it much, consider a disconnect switch on the 12V battery. The original Leaf engineers realized

I don't know about ghost loads, but how old is your 12v accessory battery? If it's still the original battery it's probably time to replace it. Cheers, -Jamie On 12/9/21 6:09 AM, Mark Hanson via EV wrote: Hi folks After parking the 2013 Leaf in the garage for 3 weeks, it wouldn’t go when
