Someone on the internet is claiming that if you ever see the 3rd charging indicator light b\nking while not plugged in that this means the car is topping off the 12V battery. The claim is that this information is in the manual. I highly doubt this as it would mean the car has to 1. be...

My wife missed an important meeting today due to this happening. She had the battery at 14 miles or so, and plugged into a ChargePoint L2 charger. She used the ChargePoint card to set things up as usual and plugged in. The first light blinked, indicating that it was charging. She came back 40...

I had a royal fight with my Nissan dealership. This is the third time (or fourth? losing track...) bringing the car in for the same issue where the TCU drains the 12v battery and I refused to come get my car until they did something about it. They finally conceded to have a Nissan engineer...

My 12V battery was dead on Friday morning. (This happens in my Leaf. No, I didn't leave it plugged in not charging or sitting for days.) I have a smart battery tender/charger so I plugged it in and let it bring the battery back up. It's still charging now (about 40 hours later) but close to...

My Leaf was completely unresponsive, probably a light left on or something. I got AAA to come out and give me a jump start so I could turn the car on. I have the car sitting on and in "Ready" mode, I assume the DC-DC converter has sensed the low 12v battery and is now charging it. How long will...

The front hood is the perfect place to store the trickle charger. You don't have to rummage through the rest of the stuff in your car and when you pull it out you're already in the right place to plug it in. Not much would need to be moved around to make space for the trickle charger, there is...
