Why CNS BATTERY Is the Smart Choice for BMW i3 Owners
Premium CATL Battery Cells, Not Refurbished Junk
Many “battery replacement” companies sell refurbished or recycled cells that degrade rapidly. We use brand new CATL ternary lithium cells—the same quality used in the original BMW i3 batteries—ensuring you get the performance and longevity you deserve.
2-Year/80,000-Mile Warranty That Actually Covers You
Unlike competitors who offer short, limited warranties, our 2-year/80,000-mile warranty provides real peace of mind. We’ve seen too many customers face unexpected battery failures with other brands, but with CNS, you’ll never have to worry about hidden costs.
Plug-and-Play Installation for Maximum Convenience
Our battery modules are designed for easy installation. If you’re purchasing individual modules, you only need to connect 6 power lines and 1 signal line. For those who prefer a complete solution, our full battery packs are designed for direct plug-and-play installation, requiring no modifications to your BMW i3.
Cost Savings That Make the Upgrade Worthwhile
Let’s be clear: replacing your BMW i3 battery with an OEM part could cost you $12,000+. With our wholesale BMW i3 batteries, you get the same performance for less than half the price—saving you over $6,000 while getting a battery with better range and longer lifespan.
What BMW i3 Owners Are Saying
“After my original battery degraded, the 4S dealership quoted €12,000 for a replacement. CNS’ brand-new CATL battery cells were of the same quality as the original. The range increased from 180km to 290km, and I only need to charge it once a week for daily commuting.” — Lisa K., BMW i3 (2017 model)
“The installation was straightforward. The video tutorial was detailed, and connecting the 6 power lines and 1 signal line was simple with no errors. The only drawback was that sea shipping took 8 weeks; if you need it urgently, choose expedited service.” — Javier R., Nissan Leaf ZE0 (2014 model)
