The Peugeot 308 II (T9) from 2013-2021 is a modern compact car that requires a carefully selected battery depending on the engine version and the presence of a Start-Stop system. Key parameters include capacity, cranking current, and battery type – lead-acid or EFB.
For petrol versions without a Start-Stop system, such as the 1.2 VTi 72 (60 kW) or 1.6 THP 125 (92 kW), lead-acid batteries with a capacity of 50-65 Ah and a cranking current of 450-640 A are recommended. Examples of compatible models include Bosch S40 02, Exide EA530, and Varta C22. Versions with the Start-Stop system, like the 1.2 PureTech 110 (81 kW) or 1.6 PureTech 225 GT (165 kW), require EFB batteries with a capacity of 70-75 Ah and a cranking current of 650-760 A. Suitable options are Bosch S4 E08, Exide EL700, or Varta E45.
For diesel engines, such as the 1.6 HDi 92 (68 kW) without Start-Stop, lead-acid batteries with a capacity of 60-65 Ah and a cranking current of 540-640 A are appropriate. Bosch S40 05, Exide EA640, and Varta D15 are excellent choices. Diesel versions with Start-Stop, like the 1.6 BlueHDi 120 (88 kW) or 2.0 BlueHDi 180 GT (133 kW), use EFB batteries with a capacity of 70-75 Ah and a cranking current of 650-760 A. Examples include Bosch S4 E08, Exide EL700, and Varta E45.
Interestingly, EFB batteries are more resistant to frequent charging and discharging cycles, making them ideal for vehicles with Start-Stop systems. Regularly checking the battery’s condition, especially before winter, helps avoid starting issues.
Choosing a battery from a reputable manufacturer ensures not only a longer lifespan but also the reliable operation of all the car’s electrical systems, which is crucial in modern models like the Peugeot 308 II.
