Let's see how to change the battery in a Peugeot 208. Removing it is not as simple as it may seem. Start by removing the negative terminal (the black one) first, and only then the positive (red one). The problem arises when you want to remove the battery, which will not come out easily: it is not just a simple fixing plate where you only need to unscrew a 13 mm nut. There is a double safety mechanism made of plastic, consisting of two parts: the first part you need to remove holds the second part that secures the battery.

You must awkwardly insert your hand, press the tab, and lift the plastic piece to remove it. You will then find a second tab that you need to press with a long flat screwdriver to release the battery, which you can now extract.
