Fitment on a used battery varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
Both years fall within the first-generation Leaf (Mk1, 2011–2017), so a 2013 battery is broadly compatible with a 2015 car in terms of physical size and voltage spec, but battery capacity and chemistry can differ — notably, the 24 kWh and 30 kWh packs were both offered across those years. Confirm the exact kWh rating and pack part number with the breaker against your registration before buying.
The Nissan Leaf ran as first generation (Mk1) from 2011 to 2017 and second generation (Mk2) from 2018 onwards, and the two generations use different battery pack sizes, mounting arrangements and electrical architecture. A Mk2 battery crossing into a Mk1 is not a straightforward swap — confirm with the breaker whether any interchange is possible against your specific registration.
Trim level does not affect which battery pack is fitted — what matters is the battery capacity (24 kWh, 30 kWh or 40 kWh depending on year) and the generation of the car, not whether it is a Visia, Acenta, N-Connecta or Tekna. You may find higher trims came with a larger capacity option more commonly, but the determining factor is always the spec of the pack, so confirm the kWh rating and part number with the breaker against your registration.
Both the 30 kWh and 40 kWh packs sit within the first and second generation Leaf ranges respectively, and while physical dimensions are similar, the battery management systems, connector configurations and software calibration differ between them. This is a cross-spec swap that needs confirmation with the breaker against your registration rather than assumed compatible.
Both years sit within the second-generation Leaf (Mk2, 2018 onwards), and the 40 kWh pack was the standard fitment across much of that range, making a 2019-to-2021 swap plausible on spec grounds. However, the 62 kWh e+ variant was also introduced in the Mk2 era and uses a different, larger pack, so confirm the exact capacity and part number with the breaker against both registrations before proceeding.
The key details are the battery capacity in kWh, the generation of your Leaf (Mk1 2011–2017 or Mk2 2018 onwards), and ideally the OEM part number from your existing pack. Give the breaker your full registration and ask them to cross-reference the pack spec, as state of health and remaining capacity are also worth asking about on a used traction battery.
