When the car isn't driving I believe the main battery isn't connected for safety reasons. It's a high voltage battery, and having it connected all the time even when the car is being serviced is an unnecessary safety risk.
Yeah they could and probably should use a different battery technology than lead acid. Preferably something with a wide temperature range. Lithium Titanate Oxide anyone?
