My Nissan Leaf accessory battery has died after more than a month of being left in the garage because of Covid-19. I now realize that I needed to disconnect the 12 V battery which I will be doing in the future.
I tried to start the car and run it for 10 minutes near the house recently. However as soon as I got back into the garage, the car would not let me shut it down saying that I needed to press the brake pedal even when I had it pressed down. I could not shut it down no matter what I tried. It even gave me a T/M system malfunction error. Now the battery I believe has no charge in it.
Can you suggest which 12V battery I could buy and replace the current one with.
I read in another post that Optima Yellow Top 51R might be a good replacement. Is this true? Are there any other options in the group size 51R range.
Thanks in advance!
(Word "accessory" added to "battery" by Mod, to make it clear that it wasn't the main battery that died.)
