Well I am having second thoughts about the LifePO battery after watching Leaf Spy's voltmeter more. I watched it this morning and for a good part of my commute it was holding at 14.6v. I definitely don't want a fire so I will need to inspect the battery when it gets here, I don't even know if it has a BMS, I just recognized my favorite brand and clicked buy now. It is designed for motorcycles so I assume (hope) it has a way to deal with higher than normal LifePO4 voltage.
Also this is an interesting data point that suggests Nissan changed a few things. I don't know what model year this is but mine is a later 2013 that never had any recalls issued.

I certainly intend on swapping my Pb battery for a LifePO battery once the Pb battery fails. I do charge it every couple of months on a 2a charger when I think about it to desulfate the battery a bit.

Gens-Ace Tattu is about the best brand of lithium battery I've ever used. I have sold hundreds of them all over the world and haven't had a single failure.
