I recommend buying an entire wrecked car from an auto insurance auction.
That way you know why it's being sold (car wrecked, not due to
problems with the battery).
In many cases, if you can get the 12 volt system to power up you can
plug in a bluetooth OBDII interface and use LeafSpy to talk directly
with the battery BMS.
Then, you just have to find somebody to buy the rest of the car (in
pieces if you want to put in the time and effort of parting it out, or
whole if you don't.)
Worked well for me.

The main thing to be concerned about when buying used junk batteries, is that
a lot of them could have been from crash tests or factory rejects which have
the batteries shorted by Nissan engineers. As a result of the shorting the
batteries are worthless. I have had many customers send me battery packs
from different junkies to disassemble for them, they lost a lot of money as
a result. The junkie isn't going to refund. Reversal on your credit card
wont work unless you have had it shipped back, then you are on the "no sell"
list that junkies subscribe to. You get what you pay for. I also notice all
of the people on the forums asking about buying the Leaf or Volt batteries
are the same ones who used to post how good the CALBs were. What happened,
did the CALB's die?
