Battery replacement

Having decided on the choice of battery, you can consider the question of how to remove the battery on a Peugeot 408 yourself and install a new battery in its original place.

Replacing it yourself is not difficult. Typically, removal involves the use of a standard set of tools and the participation of one person.

Before installation, be sure to check the voltage in the new battery. If it is less than 12.5 V, the battery will need to be recharged.

To charge the battery, it is better to use an automatic charger.

The French automaker sought to make the car quite compact on the outside and at the same time roomy on the inside. To do this, we had to use not the most successful design solutions. Such a simple, at first glance, task of changing the battery, in practice presents newbies with unpleasant surprises.

Having opened the hood, many will not even immediately understand where the battery is located. In the case of the Peugeot 408, the battery is actually placed under the hood. But there are some nuances here, how to remove it and install a new battery.

The procedure for replacing the battery on a Peugeot 408 can be represented in the following sequence of actions:

• turn off the engine, turn off the ignition, remove the key from the lock and turn off all consumers;
• lift the hood, securely fix it;
• find a black triangular plug near the right fender of the car;
• under the plug there is a plastic plate on which the clips should be snapped off;
• then disconnect the clamp that holds the air intake pipe using a flat-head screwdriver;
• Having finished with the pipe, pull out the air intake itself, otherwise you won’t be able to get to the old battery;
• Now you can disconnect the negative terminal by opening the latch and pulling the fastener up;
• squeeze the 2 latches in front and behind on the fuse box cover;
• the block is held in place with the help of 2 more latches, which will need to be squeezed out and the element removed;
• Having disconnected the fuse box, move upwards to remove the plastic casing that covers the battery;
• after this, you can disconnect the positive terminal by simply snapping the latches;
• using a 13mm socket, unscrew the fastening block that holds the pressure plate at the base of the battery;
• Now just grab the battery firmly, pull it up and remove it from the socket.

At this point the procedure can be considered complete. All that remains is to take a new battery and perform all the steps in the reverse order of dismantling.

It is important to be extremely careful when removing the battery, since the Peugeot 408 has numerous latches and plastic clips that can easily be broken.

Yes, from a design standpoint, the Peugeot 408 is far from the simplest. Something as simple as replacing a battery can cause a number of difficulties. And all because of the chosen location under the hood.

Due to the peculiarities and complexity of the battery location, many Peugeot 408 owners prefer to contact a car service to replace the battery.

Battery types for Peugeot 408

In Russia, buyers have access to the Peugeot 408 with 4 engine versions:

• Gasoline engines with volumes of 1.6 l (110 hp), 1.6 l (120 hp), turbocharged 1.6 l (150 hp)

Battery range for Peugeot 408

To choose a suitable battery to replace the standard power source, you should start from the installed engine. Therefore, here we can separately give several examples of good and well-proven batteries that are relevant for gasoline and diesel versions of the Peugeot 408.

For owners of gasoline versions, regardless of the power of the internal combustion engine, batteries, the list of which will be given below, can be an excellent choice. All their dimensions are identical, namely 242x175x190 mm. But they differ in technical characteristics, that is, in capacity and cold cranking current.

For petrol versions of the Peugeot 408, the following batteries are a good choice:

• Bosch S3005 56R. Has a capacity of 56 Ah with a cold cranking current of 530 A;
• Mutlu Mega Calcium 60R. Produces 60 Ah at a starting current of 540 A;
• Varta AGM D52. An excellent German battery with a capacity of 60 Ah, produces a cranking current of 680 A;
• Leader 60R. An option for those who want to save money without sacrificing performance, this battery generates 60 Ah and a starting current of 530 A;
• Tyumen Standard 60R. Another domestic budget battery option, its characteristics are 60 Ah and 550 A;
• Tyumen Premium 64R. A more expensive Russian-made battery, but here the capacity is already 64 Ah, and the starting current is 620 A;

• Varta Blue D24. An excellent representative of the German battery production giant, such a battery can produce a respectable 60 Ah and a good 540 A;
• Topla Energy 66R. Here 66 Ah at 620 A.

The range is not limited to this. But Peugeot 408 owners usually give preference to budget and mid-budget power sources, in accordance with the car itself.

But there are more reputable batteries on the market. For example, these are top products developed under brands such as Varta, AlphaLine, Deka, Exide, Banner or Mutlu. And if the previous options cost on average up to 5–6 thousand rubles, then premium batteries suitable for the Peugeot 408 will cost from 8 to 12 thousand rubles.

We should also consider batteries designed for installation in a Peugeot 408 with a diesel engine. Its main distinguishing features are increased capacity, as well as other overall dimensions. They are 278x175x190 mm.

From budget to more expensive models, favorites include the following batteries:

• Akom 70R for 70 Ah and 680 A;
• Varta Black E13 with parameters 70 Ah and 640 A;
• Bosch S3008 for 70 Ah and 640 A;
• Mutlu Mega Calcium 75R with characteristics of 75 Ah and 720 A;

• Alpha Line AGM 70R for 70 Ah with a starting current of 760 A.

The price range is from 5 to 17 thousand rubles. The assortment is impressive.

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:

1. 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
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Starting current. It can also be different; you need to check exactly in the service manual or check the parameters of the installed battery.

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.

Manufacturers

There are several manufacturers that you should give preference to:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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).

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.

Battery installed in the engine compartment

The battery on the Peugeot 308 is dead, how to start the car?

Lighting from another car looks like this.

But this situation is not so terrible, and you can cope with it yourself, without involving a service station master.

Initially, it is worth deciding whether the problem is definitely in the battery and not in other systems. So, for example, when, when you turn the ignition key, the starter starts to spin slowly and at the same time all the lights on the instrument panel blink, and you also hear a characteristic crackling noise, then the probability that the battery has failed is 100%.

Modern batteries have one jar with an indicator, which can be painted in different colors depending on the need to add distilled water to the container. This jar should also be checked to confirm the diagnosis.

If the battery dies in the summer

The indicator shows that the battery has reached zero.

It is noted that if such a problem occurred in the summer, the battery will most likely need to be replaced with a new one.

Even a poorly charged battery at an air temperature of +20 degrees can start the car by cranking the starter.

If in the summer the battery does not turn the starter at all, then resuscitation of such a battery with the help of a charger is hardly possible. If this can be done, such a battery will not last long. When the starter turns well, but the engine does not start, then it is worth looking for other reasons, of which there may be a large number.

Light up the Peugeot 308

Next, we will describe the rules of one of the most common and popular ways to start a car engine if the battery is dead - “lighting a cigarette”.

But such manipulations cannot be performed on all modern cars. Experts note that this method is effective for the Peugeot 308, and it will not harm other car systems .

First of all, you need to have another car nearby with a good battery. You will also need special wires . They can be purchased at a regular parts store. They are called “smoking wires”. Such cables must be thick. The plus one can be colored red. There are alligator clips at both ends of the cable.

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.

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.

Manifestation of oxidation of the terminals - starts sluggishly; - message about steering failure; - Numerous reports of malfunctions of many systems. How to deal with terminal oxidation - removing chemical reaction products (POISONOUS!) from the terminal connection; — mechanical cleaning of terminals and terminal lugs (DO NOT ALLOW METAL FINISHES TO ENTER THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT!); - wipe dry; — secure the terminal lugs to the terminals. Perfectionists can cover the connection with a special paste, for example, “Liqui Moly Grease for Electrical Contacts Batterie-Pol-Fett”. Directions for use: Batterie-Pol-Fett electrical contact lubricant is not conductive. It is applied from above, after securing the battery terminal connectors. It can be used on all electrical parts of the car where it is necessary to prevent current leakage. Article 8045 (volume: 0.010). Article 7643 (volume: 0.050). Article 8046 (volume: 0.300). What to do if you suffer In many cases, it is enough to clean the terminals, light a cigarette from a neighbor’s car and charge the battery, you don’t even have to remove it - it charges while moving, an hour of driving without traffic jams is enough.

It was a pity for the car, but it was terrible: the oil dried out from the frost to the tip of the dipstick, the whole car shook, it stalled at idle, the steering wheel did not turn at all, the handbrake was torn off only by pouring water on the wheels, the shock absorbers only appeared with a thaw a couple of days later. However, praise to the new Pezhosh battery, it turns out noticeably better, according to my feelings, than the Varta, which I had second after the first original one.

Not only did he turn the engine cold for about three minutes, but then he easily shifted gears on the frozen robot. After hours of that 3rd trip, the DepollutionSystem error appeared, which even now, even after 700 km, “hasn’t gone away”.
