On my 2024 Nissan Leaf; While I was putting in my sunscreen ( black side out for snow/ ice ) I accidentally hit the emergency flashers. I did not notice that they were on. It was about 5 PM, my car was plugged in, on a timer for midnight charging. It was about 20 F at the time and about 16 F overnight. Next morning the car was dead. Got in with the driver side door key. So what I learned is that the 12 VDC battery does not charge when plugged in , unless you are actually able to charge. A quick jump from a sump pump battery backup battery in my garage and it started. Then pressing the timer override, It was then able to charge both the 12 V and the HV battery. But I am not sure if the timer was reset, due to the dead 12 V battery. BTW; The way I discovered it EV Connect was not giving me a charge status.
