But it weighs more.

While it weighs more than the MY2013-MY2015 battery, it weighs slightly LESS than the the MY2011-MY2012 battery.

Nissan needs a complete redesign of the LEAF platform reduce weight, this is going to be an issue when they add a bigger pack and they have not been that good in this area using some heavy ICE parts. Of course weight loss can come at a cost when related to materials and not just the low hanging fruit items.
