The battery pack is made of air-cooled stacked laminar cells with manganese oxide in the cathode.



The battery and control module together weigh 480 pounds (220 kg) and the energy density of the cells is 140 W·h/kg.

It is estimated that each battery pack costs Nissan $18K and expected to be half as much when mass production of the battery packs begins.
