Description: See what the 2018 Leaf owner's manual tells us about Li-Ion battery life. CORRECTION: I was wrong, there is no airflow through the battery from the passenger compartment. According to the owner's manual, the climate control system can come on while charging, but it does not say why. Maybe it is because the battery gets too hot and heats up the passenger compartment. The Leaf battery is inside a sealed housing under the vehicle.
