What is the battery model of Dongfeng Peugeot 408?
2 Answers
Dongfeng Peugeot 408 uses a Camel L2-400 battery. Camel is a relatively old battery brand with a lifespan of approximately two years. Here are three precautions regarding battery usage: 1. Long-term inactivity: The battery will gradually self-discharge until it becomes unusable. It is recommended to start the car periodically to recharge the battery. 2. Timely charging: The battery's charge level can be monitored on the dashboard. When the ammeter indicates insufficient charge, recharge promptly. 3. Electrolyte density: Adjust according to standards based on different regions and seasons.
The battery model for my own Dongfeng Peugeot 408 is usually L2 400, 12V 60Ah, as I found on owner forums when searching online. As someone who enjoys DIY car repairs, I think finding the correct model is crucial—otherwise, the car might not start if the wrong one is installed. Usually, I check the battery label in the engine compartment to confirm. The Peugeot 408's battery is located under the front right cover, easily visible once opened, with the model number clearly marked. When replacing the battery, choosing reputable brands like Varta or Fengfan is more reliable. If doing it yourself, remember to disconnect the negative terminal first to prevent short circuits. Battery lifespan is typically 3 to 5 years, and batteries in cars frequently used for short trips tend to degrade faster. Testing the voltage monthly can help detect issues early, saving both money and hassle. For maintenance, regularly cleaning the battery terminals to avoid corrosion in high summer temperatures can extend its lifespan.
