@anthropy@mastodon.derg.nz put your 12v charger on the car overnight evedy six months: the leaf 12v charge algorithm is garbage and the battery does sulphate prematurely. I got 9 years out of the last 12v batt in our leaf by doing that.

@PatrickHerd@aus.social I was wondering about that, I noticed while driving that it didn't push the voltage up that much further, it just kinda seemed to keep it around 12.9v at most, when a real alternator would charge it up to like 14.5V. I guess I'll do a full charge cycle with the charger then
