What is the battery model of the Peugeot 408?

The battery model for the Peugeot 408 is L2400. Battery usage precautions: 1. When the ammeter indicates insufficient charge, charge the battery promptly; 2. The density of the electrolyte should be adjusted according to standards based on different regions and seasons; 3. If the battery is not used for a long time, it will gradually self-discharge until it becomes unusable. Therefore, start the car periodically to charge the battery. Alternatively, disconnect the two electrodes from the battery. Note that when removing the positive and negative electrode wires from the terminals, first remove the negative wire or disconnect the negative terminal from the car chassis, then remove the other end marked with the positive terminal. Batteries have a limited lifespan and should be replaced after a certain period.
I've been driving the Peugeot 408 for two to three years, and based on my experience, its battery model is typically the L2-400 type, a 12V 60Ah AGM battery. This battery is specifically designed for models with auto start-stop functionality, and the original one usually lasts over three to four years. Last time I replaced it at a repair shop, it cost me over 400 yuan for a compatible Varta version, which feels more stable in terms of power output. Maintenance is quite simple—just check the voltmeter monthly to ensure it's around 12.6V and avoid letting the battery drain to prevent startup issues. If you frequently encounter difficulty starting the engine, it might be a sign of battery aging. I recommend replacing it immediately rather than waiting until it dies on the road. In practical use, the battery size must match the original slot; otherwise, it won’t fit, leading to rework, which is quite troublesome. In cold winters, remember to preheat the engine before starting to extend the battery's lifespan.
