Thank you for watching my Teardown Video of this Nissan Leaf Cell! I was very curious what was the hype with these "Pouch Cells". I can assure you that what I found inside looks nothing like what the picture in my head looked like. It was quite surprising how much these cells bulged as I discharged them outside of their range.

Nissan Leaf Gen 1 Battery Modules are perfect for DIY Powerwalls & DIY lead-acid to lithium conversions for your RV, Golf Cart, off-Grid Power Room, and much more because weight is less of a concern. I was quite impressed how much abuse I could give these cells during the teardown process, including bending the pouches and cutting the casing apart.
