The orientation in the schematic shows that this pack is tapered at the rear end. Normally we are used to seeing packs tapered at the font to accommodate the suspension and resultant offset barrier crash structure.
There are 4 large modules and 1 smaller module in the tapered rear of the pack.
What appears to be the BMS, BDU and electrical connections are at the front of the pack.
The schematic around the packaging suggests that Nissan are still extending the height of the battery pack under the 2nd row seats.
In this latest generation Nissan have moved to a liquid cooled pack.
The schematic shows the cooling channels on the underside of the bottom plate of the pack. A body undercover then acts as a thermal and mechanical shield.
