My understanding is that early 2013's had the original cell chemistry
battery from 2011-2012....late 2013's had the new cell chemistry used in
2014 onwards. So buying a 2014+ is the easy way to guarantee getting a
"lizard" battery without looking up the exact date of manufacture, etc....
The VIN can give you a clue, but the only sure way to confirm is to open
the battery up and see if the modules inside look like Gen1 modules or not.
This image shows the difference:
