I thought the Leaf modules were each 4s, similar to how a 7.2v Prius module is 6s. I stand corrected. They are 2s2p.
They can be modded to 4s according to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAznO_p_rEY So, yes that does mean 228 amps at an 80 kW full throttle at 3.65 volts per cell with 96 pairs in series.
