Thanks, you had mentioned that they were sealed well before, and you are
right!
I didn't have an Air Chisel, and it was a REAL CHORE removing it with a
hammer and 1&1/2" putty knife! I probably spent 2 hours breaking the
seal....
But I eventually got it open:

Are the 2013 batteries the "lizard battery"? Or is that only the 2014 or
2015? My understanding was that the 2013 was the "lizard battery", but
others have told me the chemistry wasn't changed until 2014/2015...
The cells certainly look different (air vents, split sides, etc...) see
the photos above for closeups...

The video Ben Nelson has posted showing the disassembly of a Leaf battery is
the old battery type. Leaf has made a lot of modifications to the cells and
the metal container. Most importantly, you cannot remove the top metal cover
by simply removing about 40 bolts. The new style has about 8 molts and is
silicone together to prevent liquids from entering. It is a real chore
removing it with a air chisel. Just thought one should know this before
tackling the project.
