Leaf batteries are Lithium Manganese. Read up on them.
There are several EV shops selling Leaf Cells for dirt cheap, and there is a reason for it. The Leaf was released in late 2010 as a 2011 model year. The company had several battery warranty claims and found a defect in the battery cells in model years 2011 and 2012. Nissan offered Leaf owners of model years 2011 and 2012 a new battery pack for $100.
You as a consumer cannot buy Leaf Battery cells. You can only buy the complete module. What is being offered by EV dealers is Nissan 2011 and 2012 model year cells to cover some their losses. Nissan sold their inventory to EV dealers for pennies on the dollar, and they disassembled them to get the cells out and resell them to an unknowing public.
