OEM BMW i3 Battery Pack: Wholesale Distributor 2026 – How Certified Partners Are Securing Factory-Grade 62kWh Packs at 52% Below Dealer Pricing (With Full Compatibility & 2-Year Warranty)

“A European EV parts chain needed 80 BMW i3 battery packs for its service centers—but the official BMW channel quoted €14,200 per unit, with a 12-week lead time.

Independent suppliers offered ‘refurbished’ packs at €7,500, but three failed within 90 days, triggering customer complaints and warranty disputes.
Then they partnered with CNS BATTERY as an authorized OEM BMW i3 Battery Pack: Wholesale Distributor 2026.
They received brand-new 62kWh packs—built with CATL cells, matching original voltage curves and BMS protocols—for €6,800 each, shipped in 18 days, backed by a 24-month/80,000 km warranty.
Result? Zero field failures in 11 months. And a renewed contract for 200 more units.”

If you’re a distributor, fleet operator, or large repair network sourcing BMW i3 battery packs in 2026, you’re caught between two flawed options:

  • Official dealer channels: Reliable but prohibitively expensive and slow
  • Grey-market rebuilders: Cheap but risky, using recycled cells, mismatched firmware, and no real warranty

What if you could get OEM-equivalent performance—without the OEM price tag or the aftermarket gamble?

CNS BATTERY delivers exactly that. As a specialized manufacturer of BMW i3-compatible battery systems since 2018, we produce true OEM-grade packs that meet or exceed original specifications—now available exclusively to qualified wholesale distributors under our 2026 Authorized Partner Program.

Our OEM BMW i3 Battery Pack: Wholesale Distributor 2026 offering includes:

  • 🔋 Three certified capacities: 45kWh (2017–2018), 50kWh (2019), and 62kWh (2020–2021)—all using brand-new CATL NMC prismatic cells
  • ⚙️ Full OEM compatibility: Plug-and-play with no BMS reprogramming, no error codes, and factory-matched CAN communication
  • 🛡️ 24-month / 80,000 km warranty: Covers capacity retention (≥9 bars out of 12 after full charge) and manufacturing defects
  • 📦 Fumigation-free wooden crates: ISPM 15 compliant, UN38.3 certified, ready for global shipping
  • 💼 Distributor-exclusive pricing: Starting at $6,400 USD for 62kWh—over 50% below BMW list price

These aren’t “compatible” knockoffs. They’re precision-engineered replacements built on years of reverse engineering, real-world validation, and direct feedback from 1,200+ i3 technicians worldwide.


Why 2026 Is the Critical Year for i3 Battery Distribution

  • Over 180,000 BMW i3s with aging 45/50kWh packs are now outside factory warranty
  • Range degradation is accelerating—average usable capacity has dropped to <60% in 2017–2019 models
  • Demand for 62kWh upgrades is surging (+63% YoY), but supply remains tight
  • Dealers are discontinuing support for older i3 variants, creating a massive aftermarket gap

As an authorized CNS distributor, you don’t just fill that gap—you own it, with a product that performs like OEM but prices like opportunity.

“We tested three suppliers. Only CNS passed our bench validation: same discharge curve, same thermal response, same sleep/wake behavior as the original. Now they’re our sole source.”
