Any thoughts about leaving my Leaf unused for two weeks? Charge level? Attach to charger? Appreciate your comments.

This is very important! DO NOT LEAVE IT PLUGGED IN! Doing so will leave you with a dead 12V battery!mwalsh said:Anywhere close to 50% charged and just leave it sit. Don't plug-in.
I think someone has said the cellular radio in the LEAF stops responding after a certain number of days without driving, but I cannot remember how many days. Does anyone recall if it is less than two weeks?smkettner said:If you want to plug LEAF in to have it fully charged upon return... leave it low (2 bars?) and set the timer to charge to 80% for 20 minutes two or three days a week. You can then remotely charge to 100% a few hours before your return.
It's 14 days.RegGuheert said:I think someone has said the cellular radio in the LEAF stops responding after a certain number of days without driving, but I cannot remember how many days.

why would this de-charge the 12v-----what does charge the 12v?DoxyLover said:This is very important! DO NOT LEAVE IT PLUGGED IN! Doing so will leave you with a dead 12V battery!mwalsh said:Anywhere close to 50% charged and just leave it sit. Don't plug-in.
Randy said:When the J1772 cord is plugged in, it seems to inhibit the traction battery from recharging the 12v battery in the car.
Since the 12v battery is small, and there is a bit of parasitic load in the car connected to it, it will go dead if it isn't recharged. Hence, the advice not to plug in the J1772 charge connector...
