Complete Mitsubishi Mirage Battery Replacement Guide Phuket
The Mitsubishi Mirage is a popular hatchback in Thailand, sharing the same platform as the Mitsubishi Attrage but in a 5-door configuration. Known for its fuel efficiency, compact size, and affordable price. But many owners don’t know that the two generations use different batteries, especially the newer models with Start-Stop system.
I’ve met customers who installed standard batteries in their 2020 Mirage and the Start-Stop system didn’t work properly. This article explains everything about Mirage batteries for both generations.

Generation 1 (2012-2019):
- Uses NS40 or NS60 battery

- Price: ฿2,000-2,800
Minor Change (2019+):
