I'm not sure where these packs will come from, since there aren't exactly hundreds of thousands of used Leafs on the road, but maybe they have cells taken out of a new pack to make it 9 or 10 bars? I just don't know.
There are variations in each cell during manufacture.. and each cell is capacity tested and graded, we assume the ones that dont meet the spec get destroyed.
Nissan could also manufacture special low capacity packs by just reducing the length of the cathode and anode strips (also saving cash).. but that does not seem too likely since the cells would be thinner and the pack would need spacers to fill up the empty volume. Too much work to save a couple thousand $$..
