Replacement of a Faulty Battery

Model: Peugeot 307 MK 1 - Years 2001-2009
Part: Battery

If the vehicle fails to start, the issue may lie with the battery not supplying the necessary current, so it needs to be replaced. The average lifespan of a battery is around three years. The battery is located under the bonnet. First, loosen the nut on the negative terminal and remove it, keeping it away from the battery. Next, loosen the nut on the positive terminal and remove it from the battery terminal. Unscrew the nut located on the right side of the battery, removing the retaining plate at the bottom. Pull the battery out of its housing using the designated handles. Install the new battery and secure it properly with the screw and corresponding plate. Clean the battery terminals with sandpaper or a cloth. Position the terminal on the positive post, pushing it down firmly, and tighten the retaining nut. Then, perform the same operation with the negative terminal. Do not dispose of the used battery in the environment; take it to the appropriate collection centres.
