LeafSpy connects from your cell phone via Bluetooth (or WiFi, though less commonly) to an OBD2 plug of type ELM327, though not all versions of it are working well. Try to get one that says version 1.5 because I heard that later versions are cost optimized and lost the second CAN bus interface. The Leaf has two independent CAN buses, the second one dedicated to the EV circuits, so you need that to talk to the battery computer.
In fact, if I get a loose Leaf battery and want to know its state of health, i connect an ELM327 directly to the battery's CAN bus, power both with a small 12v power supply and use LeafSpy in the setting "model year = BMS only" to fetch just the battery computer data.
