Using CATL 3.7V 93Ah Battery To Replace The Aging LEV50 Cells- Upgrade Solution for Mitsubishi i-MiE

Using CATL 3.7V 93Ah Battery To Replace The Aging LEV50 Cells- Upgrade Solution for Mitsubishi i-MiEV & Peugeot iOn

As many early electric vehicles continue operating beyond their original battery life expectations, owners of Mitsubishi i-MiEV and Peugeot iOn are increasingly facing battery degradation issues. The original LEV50 battery cells used in these vehicles have now experienced years of usage, causing noticeable capacity loss, reduced driving range, and performance decline.

To help vehicle owners extend vehicle life and improve driving performance, we provide an upgraded battery replacement solution using CATL 3.7V 93Ah lithium battery cells.

Why Do Mitsubishi i-MiEV and Peugeot iOn Batteries Need Upgrading?

The original battery systems in Mitsubishi i-MiEV and Peugeot iOn commonly use LEV50 lithium cells with dimensions: 171 × 44 × 111 mm

After years of charge/discharge cycles, users frequently experience:

Reduced driving range
Longer charging time
Lower usable battery capacity
Voltage inconsistency between cells
Battery warning messages
Weak acceleration performance

Since many original LEV50 cells are now approaching or exceeding their designed cycle life, finding a reliable replacement solution has become increasingly important.

No refurbished cells

No welding marks from previous use

Stable and consistent performance

Customized Direct Replacement Design

The battery solution is optimized specifically for:

Mitsubishi i-MiEV

Peugeot iOn

No major structural modifications are required.

Professional Laser Welding Technology

We provide:

M8 laser welded terminals/studs

M3 threaded mounting holes

Reliable conductivity

Strong mechanical stability

Laser welding provides cleaner and stronger connections than manual welding methods.

Typical Vehicle Applications

Suitable for battery upgrade projects including:

Mitsubishi i-MiEV battery replacement

Peugeot iOn battery refurbishment

EV battery repair projects

EV battery pack rebuilding

Electric vehicle capacity upgrades

As original LEV50 batteries become increasingly difficult to source and many existing packs continue losing capacity, upgrading to CATL 93Ah cells offers an effective way to extend vehicle life without replacing the entire EV.
