How to replace the battery on a Peugeot 208.

Model: Peugeot 208 UB, UJ, UP, MK 2, UW - Years 2019-2026
Part: Battery

Let's see how to replace the battery on a Peugeot 208: this operation should be done with the engine off and the key removed from the ignition. We start by disconnecting the negative terminal (the black one), loosening the nut and removing the terminal from the post, then we repeat the process with the positive terminal (the red one), and unscrew the fastening clamp that holds the battery in its place. Once removed, we can take it out. We place the new battery in its location, making sure it is oriented correctly (the positive and negative terminals must correspond to the position of the cables). We secure the battery with its fastening clamp and connect the terminals, starting with the positive one and then the negative one. We wait for about a minute.
