Near annual replacements of the 12V battery are not unusual.
If you leave your car parked a lot, this can become even more frequent. When the car is sitting it cycles the 12V battery from fully charged to 80% discharged about once every 3 hours. This can be reduced with the power saving features, but even then you're still in the five hour neighborhood for a cycle of the 12V battery, until the car enters deep sleep. I think this usually happens after 48-72 hours, but i'm not sure on that.
When driving, the car charges the battery and then runs all the 12V electronics off the DC-DC converter. When parked, the car discharges the 12V battery (computers still awake, etc) and then has to power up the DC-DC converter to charge the battery. The High voltage rail can't be left online all the time due to safety issues, so this is the only solution.
I did read somewhere that a 12V DC-DC converter now exists within the traction-battery itself, which is there to prevent a car from being stuck due to a dead 12V battery, but I'm not sure this has the ability to charge the battery, or that it's left on all the time. (Or that i entirely understood it correctly)
