The Leaf's DC-DC appears to have plenty of power, but they don't let it stay up in the 14.4 volt range long enough to get the battery charged and keep it that way.
Your analysis is dead-on. Nissan has known about this issue for at least a year, if not longer, yet they did nothing to resolve it in the 2013s.Computerizer wrote:
After letting the car sit in "READY" mode for about half an hour, I turned it off then into accessory mode, and it seemed to have enough power, so it did recharge the battery somewhat -- or it got charged while I was jumping it. In any case, after another 24 hours passed, the battery still had a charge, so it got enough for now anyway.
I figure if it does it again we'll take it to the dealer and have them test it.

The problem is that a lead-acid battery will permantly lose capacity if not FULLY recharged at least every few days or so. In its current condition, your LEAF could possibly leave you stranded at any time. You really should check and fully charge your 12V battery.I figure if it does it again we'll take it to the dealer and have them test it.
