Replace LEV40 and LEV46 Batteries with EVE 3.7V 58Ah Battery Cells

Many early owners of the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV are now facing a common issue: battery capacity degradation. 

T
he batteries in Outlander are LEV40 3.7V 40Ah battery for older cars with the 2.0 L engine and LEV46 3.7V 46Ah battery cell with 2.4 L engine, which have been in service for many years. After long-term cycling and aging, many of these lithium-ion battery packs show significant capacity loss, resulting in reduced electric driving range, weaker acceleration, and more frequent engine intervention.

For vehicle owners and repair workshops looking for a reliable replacement solution, the EVE 3.7V 58Ah NMC battery cell has become an increasingly popular alternative.

Battery replacement / battery upgrade


Compared with the original LEV40 cell and LEV46 battery cell, the EVE 58Ah NMC battery provides around 45% higher capacity, which helps restore or even improve the driving range of aging vehicles.



Customized Design for Direct Replacement

To make the upgrade easier for battery rebuilders and repair professionals, we provide customized terminals for the EVE cells. Our EVE 3.7V 58Ah battery cells to replace LEV40 and LEV46 come with a 130mm upper stud distance, making them compatible with many existing module structures designed for LEV40 and LEV46 cells.

This customization helps reduce modification work when rebuilding battery packs for the Outlander PHEV.

Benefits of Using EVE 58Ah Cells

Higher capacity to compensate for aging battery packs

Reliable NMC chemistry with stable performance

Customized terminal spacing for easier pack integration

Cost-effective solution for battery refurbishment

As more Outlander PHEV vehicles enter the battery replacement stage, solutions like the EVE 58Ah cells provide an effective way to extend vehicle life while improving performance.
