3 Answers
The original battery model for the Peugeot 508 is 12V70A. The functions of the battery are: 1. When the generator is overloaded, it can assist the generator in supplying power to the electrical equipment; 2. When the generator is not generating electricity or the voltage is low, it supplies power to the electrical equipment; 3. It can convert a portion of the electrical energy into chemical energy for storage. The Peugeot 508 is a mid-size car with body dimensions of: length 4870mm, width 1855mm, height 1455mm, wheelbase 2848mm, and a trunk capacity of 513L. It is equipped with a 1.6T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 125kW and a maximum power speed of 5500rpm.
I remember the original battery model for the Peugeot 508 is usually the EFB L3 70Ah specification, which is specifically designed to support the vehicle's start-stop system, ensuring stable power supply during frequent starts and stops. I usually check this by looking at the battery label for the model, with brands like Exide or Varta being more common. When replacing the battery, it's essential to find a matching EFB type; otherwise, it may cause charging faults or shorten its lifespan. It's recommended to regularly test the battery's health, especially before winter, using a multimeter to measure the voltage—around 12.6V is considered normal. If the original model is hard to find, you can check the owner's manual or consult a 4S dealership. Avoid switching to a maintenance-free type casually to prevent compatibility issues.
I've been driving a Peugeot 508 for several years. The original battery is typically a 70Ah EFB type, with labels showing dimensions like L3. I once replaced it myself but chose a regular lead-acid battery by mistake, which caused the start-stop function to stop working. I had to reinstall the correct matching model. I recommend checking the label from the battery's positive terminal for confirmation. In daily use, avoid prolonged idling with the air conditioning on, as it accelerates battery wear. When replacing, dealerships charge more – I saved about 500 yuan by switching to a third-party brand with identical specifications, but make sure the dimensions match perfectly to prevent vibration-induced loosening. Battery lifespan is approximately 3-5 years, and regular cleaning of terminal connections to prevent corrosion is crucial.
