""parasitic secondary battery"" a what?
Its just a battery used for ages not only in cars, so its not like if you remove it from cars it magically stop being produced...
And overall that "Innovation" is trying to make solution for issue that dont really exist, as having separate 12v battery is actually more secure as in case of failure of battery pack you still have reliable source of energy for eg, lights. Issue is low quality batteries that they put in cars that are like x10 worst than what we had 20 years ago... as I still have few of old 12v batteries and they work perfectly, compared to 2yo battery from 2022 car that is just a useless brick that cant even charge properly....

lso this article is painful to read... If you use AI to make it, at least have baIIs to check it...

The article mentions elimination of a lead acid 12V battery as being novel yet give no explanation of how. Tesla and others have long ago replaced lead acid with LFP and now NaI is coming on so. Maybe Leap eliminated the need for any 12V battery? If so, tell us how!
