12v Lithium Battery Suitable at reasonable price...
FINALLY. The company Wattcycle has a new $160 plus free shipping on eBay or $170 direct, 12v mini battery that's fits the Leaf. It's dimensions are: 9.02L x 5.43W x 8.19H inches | 20.8 lbs. Note Leaf's battery tray is 11" x 6" for reference.
It is Lithium Iron Phosphate and is 100ah. Designated as Wattcycle 12v Mini 100ah Lithium. I know... why 100ah not 40 or 50ah? Because it is less cost than AGM 50ah and will theoretically last life of vehicle (has 4,000cycle life).
Now, some minor issues: 1) you need to buy set of brass battery posts at cost of $5 or less, 2) Positive terminal is on left side, so negative cable may have to be stretched. (Saw a review of Leaf owner who made (LH) battery work so this might not be an issue. If it is an issue or you are a perfectionist, then a $3 4" busbar will solve that problem.
I talked with Wattcycle and they are considering making a RH terminal version available which would make ths battery nearly plug and play with screw in brass posts.
