The Spark EV changed batteries in 2015 and is a different LG cell than the one used in the Bolt. They are modular and bolt together so a battery could be repaired - if you could find replacement cells or used cells. Certainly possible but with only about 6000 Spark EVs made - split over two different battery packs designs, I doubt you will find much support. A dealer won't crack open a pack to replace cells so you would need a local expert.
From a CleanTechnica article:
- The Chevrolet Spark EV battery is made with 192 (2p96s) LG Chem cells, each cell is rated at 27 Ah and 3.75 V.
- the Chevrolet Bolt EV battery is made with 288 (3p96s) LG Chem cells, each cell is rated at 55 Ah and 3.75 V
