I attached a MCC USB 503 http://www.mccdaq.com/usb-data-acquisition/USB-503.aspx to the LEAF battery using a fuse tap to a spare fuse near the driver door and grounded to the LEAF chassis at the same fuse panel. I set the logging rate to 1 per minute and recorded the voltage starting at 9:15 for about 40 hrs.
The data is graphed and commented in the following pdf. The LEAF Telematics was activated by the GreenCharge app every 30 minutes and shows up as spikes every 30 minutes. I use two charging timers, one with no start time but to end by 7AM and one that starts at 1AM and stops by 7AM. This LEAF is a 2011 SL model and has 13K miles and is parked outside. The pdf graph shows these details.
There appears to be a noticeable drop or load on the 12V battery after 80% charging is complete for 15 minutes. I will disable the GreenCharge app and up the sampling rate on the next set of data and see if the solar charging can be detected.
