As Mark T. from California shared after upgrading his 2015 Leaf: “The original battery cost $16,000, but I chose CNS for $7,800. Less than half the price, and now I get 430km of range instead of 120km.”
Why CNS Delivers More Value Than You’d Expect
Most “cheap” battery replacements use recycled or refurbished cells that fail within months. CNS takes a different approach:
Brand-New CATL Battery Cells
We source new, high-quality battery cells directly from CATL (China’s largest battery manufacturer), ensuring performance and safety comparable to the original Nissan battery.
True OEM Compatibility
Our batteries are engineered to match Nissan Leaf specifications precisely. No modifications needed—just plug-and-play installation with the same connectors as your factory battery.
2-Year/80,000 km Warranty
Unlike competitors with 1-year warranties, we offer extended coverage that protects you against defects and performance degradation. We even cover prorated capacity loss.
Real Range Performance
Unlike some “upgraded” batteries that promise more range but deliver less, CNS batteries consistently deliver 430km+ for 62kWh models, matching or exceeding Nissan’s official specifications.
The Unspoken Savings: Beyond the Price Tag
When you choose CNS, you’re not just saving money—you’re gaining peace of mind:
- No more range anxiety – Get 200km+ more driving distance than with your degraded original battery

- Longer battery life – New CATL cells maintain 70%+ capacity for 8+ years
As Tom H. from Texas noted after his DIY installation: “The installation took only 2 hours, and now I get 430km range—200km more than before. I saved over $8,000 compared to the dealership quote.”
