Say you roll into the airport with 20% charge remaining, and you'd like it to be at 80% or 100% when you return. That's going to require being plugged into an EVSE.Stanton said:Unless I'm missing something here, I think the "charging 1 hour per day" routine was DIS-proved since the Leaf's main battery pack automatically charges the 12V battery (when NOT connected to EVSE) every 5 days
Thanks for all the tips. My main issue is that the Garage that I house my Leaf is about 0.8miles away, so it's not that trivial for me to walk over just to plug the car in. I'd like to keep the EVSE plugged in so I can start the charging remotely the day before I arrive so I can have a fully charged car. I'm hoping that the 0.5~1hr daily charge can prevent the 12V from draining while keeping traction battery only partially charged to prevent damage.
Even though I live in San Fran, I'm still a bit worried about the battery after hearing all the bad news coming out of AZ.
you can gauge the validity of your worries by how often you see TB #7 lit up
