How to remove the battery on a Peugeot 308, 408
Instructions on how to remove the battery on a Peugeot
It is recommended to replace a Peugeot 308 or 408 at least once every four years, preferably before winter cold, since the load on the engine and starter increases due to thickening of the engine oil.
How to remove and replace the battery on a Peugeot 308, everything is very simple if you know all the nuances of this process, in fact everything is simple, you need a small set of tools:
- slotted screwdriver,
- small ratchet,
- an extension cord with a ten-size head, well, I think you can get by with a ten-socket wrench, it just won’t be as convenient for them to unscrew.
- We open the hood and on the right side we see a battery that we need to remove and replace, or put on charge, don’t be afraid of the top trim, this is a charging control unit, everything is simple with it; it can be removed by moving upwards ⬆, after first bending two plastic latches from the bottom at its base , and top right. Don't forget to unplug the connector.
- We unscrew the clamp from the intake air resonator and remove the resonator, it is removed together with the boot, but you can first remove the boot, it is to the right of the resonator and is attached to them on two vertical sliders, bend the plastic latch and pull it up ⬆.
- We pulled up the cover that is on the battery (charge control unit) and moved it to the right so that it would not interfere, removed the positive terminal, it is opened by lifting the paw up ⬆, now you need to unfasten the wire clip that is located in front and at the bottom of the plastic battery case.
- Having freed the plastic battery case from everything unnecessary, we remove it by jerking towards ourselves, it is on latches, if you remove it in the cold, be careful the latches may break.
- Now we unscrew the negative terminal with a ten key, on some versions of Peugeot there are terminals with the same claw, and on some with a nut, depending on the configuration and year of manufacture, with an automatic transmission there will also be a transmission control unit behind the battery.
- We unscrew the lower fastening, it is to the left of the battery and remove it
In addition video
Then everything is in reverse order, the main thing is not to forget to connect the connector to the charging unit, otherwise an error will appear on the display in the form of a red battery charging light, and this error is reset by removing the terminal and waiting a few minutes without the terminal.
ATTENTION: When installing a charged battery, be careful to leave the doors open, some cars equipped with aftermarket alarms tend to close the doors.
How to light a Peugeot?
- To light a Peugeot, open the hood and drive the donor car as close as possible to the recipient.
- The engines of both cars must be turned off.
- First, to light a cigarette, a cable from plus to plus is connected from the donor car.
- The negative cable should be grounded on the Peugeot body.
- Wait a few minutes, this will allow the recipient's car battery to partially charge.
- Then the engine of the donor car starts, you need to wait about five more minutes. After this, the power unit is turned off, and you need to try to start the Peugeot. If you fail to start the engine, you should repeat the procedure again, just wait longer. As a result, the Peugeot engine should start.

Selecting and replacing the battery for Peugeot 308, 206 and 408: how to remove the battery and how to light the car?
In what cases is it necessary to change the original battery?
The need to replace the battery in Peugeot 206, 408 or other models may arise if the device can no longer perform its primary functions. That is, it helps start the engine and keeps the charge inside. If your car battery begins to discharge quickly, this may indicate damage or destruction of its internal components. If the battery cannot start the engine, then operating the car will simply be impossible. Even if the battery is not completely discharged, during engine operation when the heater, optics and other voltage consumers are activated, it will be discharged even more.
In addition, it is advisable to change the battery on a Peugeot 308 or another model if this device has already expired according to its technical passport, even if it is still working normally. As a rule, the service life of such devices is about 3-5 years. So if you have driven the battery for the required time for its operation, you need to understand that its malfunctions can appear at any time.

Signs of a bad battery
Battery life depends on climatic conditions. Heat accelerates the aging process of the battery's galvanic plates, and at sub-zero temperatures the electrolyte may freeze, leading to the destruction of internal elements and, accordingly, to vehicle repairs. Signs of battery failure are:
- 1. the warning light works when the engine is running;
- 2. slow rotation of the crankshaft when starting the starter;
- 3. the appearance of a belt whistling sound when additional electrical consumers are turned on while the engine is running;
- 4. presence of generator humming while the engine is running
How to choose a battery?
If you don’t know which battery to install in your Peugeot, then you need to consider several criteria before purchasing. Let's look at them in more detail.
Options
When purchasing a product, you need to pay attention to the following points:
- Device dimensions. This is a very important point, because if the device is larger, there is a chance that you will not be able to install it in the seat. Every car owner who has ever installed and removed a battery knows about this. Depending on the year of manufacture and engine type, battery dimensions may vary. Dimensions can be 19x24.2x17.5 cm, 19x20.7x17.5 cm, 19x24.3x17.5 cm, 19x27.8x17.5 cm
- The main parameter that needs to be taken into account when purchasing is battery current . In Peugeot cars, again, depending on the engine type and year of manufacture, this parameter may differ. It can be 75-80 Ah, 70-75 Ah, 60 Ah, 52-62 Ah. This parameter can be clarified in more detail in the service book. If this information is not in the manual, then inspect the case of the battery installed in your car - the current strength should be indicated on it.
- Another important criterion is the polarity of the device. Peugeot cars use direct polarity, but some cars are equipped with a battery with reverse polarity; when purchasing, it is important not to confuse it. The bottom line is that on reverse polarity devices, the plus and minus are swapped, and accordingly, difficulties may arise when connecting, since there may not be enough wire.
- Starting current. It can also be different; you need to check exactly in the service manual or check the parameters of the installed battery.

According to the manufacturer, when choosing a battery, the most important parameter is the starting current. Its recommended values are shown in the table below.
Table - Approximate recommended starting current depending on the volume of the Peugeot 308 power plant
| Engine type or volume, l | Approximate starting current, A |
| 1.4 | 570-640 |
| 1.6 | 550-620 |
| 2.0 | 560-650 |
| diesel | 670-760 |

Manufacturers
There are several manufacturers that you should give preference to:
- Akb Peugeot Citroen. This is a standard option; cars are equipped with it during production. In general, it is suitable for performing basic functions; usually devices of this brand work efficiently and without any complaints. The only drawback is the short service life, which is only 3 years. Moreover, judging by the reviews, such a device has not been removed for more than three years.
- Bosch. One of the most famous manufacturers of auto parts has launched a whole line of batteries. As practice shows, as well as consumer reviews, batteries from the manufacturer Bosch do an excellent job with the functions assigned to them, work well in cold weather and can start the engine even after a long period of inactivity. The Bosch line includes many models, so every consumer will be able to choose something for their car, in accordance with their needs and capabilities.
- Varta. This brand has also earned the trust of domestic consumers. The service life of Warta devices may vary depending on the model, but usually the batteries from this manufacturer fully reach their service life and even more. If used correctly, you will never have problems.
- Viking. Another option for relatively good batteries from a Ukrainian manufacturer. They start car engines normally in cold weather, there is a low probability of self-discharge, of course, if we are talking about the correct use of the device (the author of the video is Avto-Blogger.ru).
Peugeot 408 battery replacement
Hello. Today we’ll figure out how to choose and replace the battery for a Peugeot 408.
How to choose a battery?
If you don’t know which battery to install in your Peugeot, then you need to consider several criteria before purchasing. Let's look at them in more detail.
Dimensions
The reserve is 60 A/h battery.
An important parameter, since the purchase of a larger battery than the landing pad can accommodate and the arrangement of attachments in the engine compartment. For foreign-assembled 308s, the stock battery has the following dimensions: length 245 ± 3 mm, width 175 mm, and height 190 mm. These are the dimensions for a battery with a capacity of 63-64 A/h. Domestic assembled vehicles can be equipped with a battery with maximum dimensions of 278x175x190 mm.
Battery capacity
Diesel version of Peugeot 308 - battery 77 Ah.
This is a rather controversial value, and even in the States, as a rule, it is not indicated, but in our country it is almost the main one. Capacity, in theory, determines the amount of current that the battery is ready to deliver per unit of time.
As practice shows, many manufacturers indicate a capacity that is 35-40% higher than the actual one. That is, when buying a battery with a capacity of 65 Ah, we can actually get 50, or even 40 Ah.
It is undesirable to install a battery with a capacity that is lower than 65 A/h, but even a figure of 100 A/h will only damage the battery. Why? It’s very simple - the generator will not be able to provide a full charge and the battery will die much earlier, because it will work in an uncharged state. Alternatively, at very low temperatures, you can install a generator with increased productivity.
Polarity
Reverse polarity only!
We have already talked about it - only the opposite, if you look at the battery from the front, the positive terminal will be on the right side.
Starting current
The most important parameter
- To start a 1.4 liter EP4 engine of the latest modification, the starting current must be in the range of 570-640 A.
- For a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine EP6, the optimal starting current is 550-620 A.
- Two-liter gasoline engines require a starting current of 560 to 650 A, and diesel engines require a starting current of 670 to 760 A.
Naturally, the value of the starting current will be influenced by the type of oil in the engine, the volume and level of compression in the cylinders.
Step-by-step instructions for replacing the battery
1. Open the hood.
2. Remove the plastic cover marked below. To remove, press the tongue and lift the cover up.
3. Using a flat screwdriver, release the clamp of the pipe fitting to the air intake.
4. After releasing the clamp, pull the pipe out of the air intake.

6. Remove the positive terminal from the battery. Unsnap the latch by pressing upwards and remove the terminal.
7. Remove the protective fuse cover.
We squeeze the two latches in front and pull the cover up until it comes out of the latches. Next, squeeze the two latches from behind and pull the cover up, completely dismantling it.
8. Release the positive wires from the clamp.
9. Release the fuse box. The fuse box is secured with two latches. We disconnect first the upper latch, then the lower one. It is best to press the bottom latch with a flat-head screwdriver.
10. Remove the plastic battery casing. We pull it up to release the latches at the bottom and take it out.
11. Remove the negative terminal from the battery. Unclip the latch and remove.
12. Using a 13mm socket, unscrew the bolt securing the battery bracket.
13. Remove the battery.
14. We tighten the bolt of the battery mounting bracket and turn the bracket as shown in the photo below.
15. We put the battery in place and the bracket will turn itself and catch on the lug for fastening.
Then we put everything together in reverse order, there are no nuances or secrets. It will take about 15 minutes to replace the battery on a Peugeot 408.
All about choosing and replacing batteries for Peugeot 206, 308 and 408 cars
The purpose of the battery in a car is to supply voltage when starting the engine, as well as to provide power to all electrical appliances when the engine is turned off. No matter how high-quality this device is, it will in any case have to be replaced when it reaches the end of its service life. Read more about which battery is best for the Peugeot 308 and in what cases it needs to be changed.

Reasons for battery failure
Same thing, different perspective.
The battery exploded due to the failure of the “bank”.
Every owner of a Peugeot 308, sooner or later, a situation may arise when he needs to change the battery in his car.
A battery can fail for various reasons. Among them are:
- Service life has expired.
- Improper operation or storage, etc.
Before choosing a new unit, it is important to know how to do it correctly so that it lasts for a long time. It is also important to know how to properly remove the battery from the car itself.
Replacing and selecting a battery for a Peugeot 308
The battery installed by the manufacturer for the Peugeot 308 is designed for 4 years of operation (indicated in the technical documentation). In the future, it must be replaced with a compatible one at a service center. You can also make the replacement yourself, but in this car this is done by partially disassembling the plastic engine compartment casing and removing the air filter.
What kind of battery is on the Peugeot 308
On the Peugeot 308, the original battery is marked L2D 400-EN640 from the Fiamm brand (for the Russian Federation and other countries of the former CIS), CFEC, CEAC or Delco Remy. These are batteries of the so-called “professional” assembly, which are not available for free sale. Therefore, factory batteries can be purchased mainly at disassembly sites.
The capacity indicated on the L2D 400-EN640 is 77 Ah, size: 278x175x190 mm (they are often called the “European standard”, although not all foreign cars have batteries of this size). Starting current – 640A, polarity – reverse (positive terminal – left). It is these parameters that you should rely on when purchasing a compatible battery.
Which battery is better to choose?
The best option is always to install a battery of the type recommended by the manufacturer. The technical documentation for the Peugeot 308 states that the car is compatible with low-antimony, calcium, hybrid and gel batteries with a voltage of 12.6–12.9 Volts and a capacity of 64–77 Ah. Therefore, it is better to install batteries with the same characteristics, since the car charging system is designed for them. A higher battery capacity will lead to an increased load on it, and it simply will not fit into the battery compartment.
The polarity is necessarily reversed, with the positive terminal on the left. If you install an incompatible battery, the fuse will immediately blow, or in the worst case, the engine control unit will burn out.
The size is standard “euro”, which corresponds to 278x175x190 mm. The protective housing for the battery is designed specifically for these dimensions.
Starting current – not less than 640A. If you install a battery with a lower starting value, then although the car will work properly, the battery will wear out much faster than its stated service life. For 2.0 liter engines the recommended starting current is 650A, for diesel engines – 760A. Naturally, it is possible to use a battery with a higher rating (since the critical load is indicated, and the current consumption is regulated by the starter itself).
In terms of manufacturing technology, the best are considered:
- Calcium. They are relatively inexpensive, but provide a stable voltage level, which has a positive effect on the operation of electronics.
- Helium (AGM and GEL). They are very expensive, but they also last 5–10 years. But they are not suitable for working in conditions of critically low temperatures.
Brands, prices and other details for Peugeot 308
Most stores today offer batteries from the following manufacturers for the Peugeot 308:
- Bosch – 7700 rubles;
- Berga – 6100 rubles;
- Varta (Silver series) – 8700 rubles;
- Duracell – 7600 rubles;
- Fiamm – 8800 rubles.
Prices are indicated for batteries with a capacity of 77–80 Ah.
Battery replacement algorithm
Before removing the Peugeot 308 battery for subsequent replacement, you must wait until the engine has completely cooled down (40 minutes after turning off the ignition). You should also check whether the battery is charging when the engine is running. If the indicator of no current from the generator lights up on the dashboard, then the first step is to check the fuses.
To remove the battery and then replace it with a Peugeot 308, you will need the following tools:
- wrench with heads 10 and 13;
- turnkey extension cord.
Under no circumstances should the procedure be performed at sub-zero ambient temperatures. As practice has shown, the plastic parts of the engine compartment casing in the cold burst from the slightest pressure on them. At temperatures above +5℃ such problems do not arise.
Removing the battery is carried out as follows:
- Turn off the engine, turn off the ignition and all other electrical appliances, and open the hood.
- Remove the decorative cover. It is held on by 3 latches and is located slightly to the left of the battery.
- Pull out the air filter housing by pulling up the latch at the bottom.
- Remove the battery protection cover, under which the positive terminal is hidden. It is not held in place by anything; it is pressed against the previously removed decorative covers.
- Using a 13 socket, disconnect the wire next to the positive terminal (goes to the fuse block). It will also be possible to remove it with a regular open-end wrench, but it will be inconvenient and there is a possibility of damaging the protective plastic insert of the fuse block.
- Loosen the terminal on the positive wire and remove it.
- Remove the fuse box. It is secured with two latches. There is no need to pull it out by force: if you break the plastic latches, it will not be easy to get a new case; they are also quite expensive.
- Remove the second terminal, next to which there is a minus sign.
- Completely remove the battery protective housing.
- Unscrew the battery fasteners. There are a total of 3 nuts at the bottom of the compartment; you will need an extension cord, since without it your hand cannot reach it (although an open-end wrench fits).
- Remove the battery.

Battery for Peugeot 308 – which one to choose
The battery powers the vehicle's on-board network when the engine is stopped, and also provides energy to start the power unit. During operation, the battery wears out and its capacity decreases. Therefore, after 3-7 years you may need to purchase a new battery.
Peugeot does not manufacture its own batteries. She makes purchases from manufacturers, which are presented in the table below. At the same time, power supplies from Fiamm are predominantly installed on cars going to the domestic market.
| Brand | Battery model |
| CFEC | L2D 400-EN640 |
| CEAC | L2D 400-EN640 |
| Fiamm | L2D 400-EN640 |
| Delco-Remy | L2D 400-EN640 |
Regardless of the battery manufacturer, Peugeot provides a 12-month warranty on the battery. According to reviews from car owners, problems with a standard battery begin after 3-4 years of operation.
When choosing a battery, both native and third-party brands, you should first of all pay attention to what market the car is designed for. This is due to the fact that the batteries differ significantly in size and are not interchangeable.
An important criterion is the battery capacity. Slight differences from the original battery are allowed. A significant difference will lead to suboptimal battery operation and a decrease in its service life.
According to the manufacturer, when choosing a battery, the most important parameter is the starting current. Its recommended values are shown in the table below.
Table - Approximate recommended starting current depending on the volume of the Peugeot 308 power plant
