Natural battery discharge
In certain severe climatic conditions
(temperature, humidity), the battery can
discharge after 2 months, even with terminals
disconnected.
To store the vehicle or the battery, use a
location protected from heat and humidity.
Battery power loss
A battery can be discharged due to
power losses:
–
Continuous electrical consumption of a
component (e.g. alarm, anti-theft device).
–
Device powered up when the engine is off
(e.g. audio system, USB charger).
–
Electrical leakage due to poor insulation of
electrical components.
If the power loss cannot be located, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to
have the vehicle's electrical system checked.
Battery charge check
For batteries with a charge status
indicator, read the value indicated on the
battery directly.
For other types of batteries, the check can be
carried out with a voltmeter:
►
Connect the voltmeter to the battery
terminals (respect the polarities).
►
Read the voltage value.
►
T
urn the main beam headlamps on.
If the battery voltage remains at or above 10
V without rapidly decreasing, the charge is
correct.
If the battery voltage drops quickly or is less
than 10 V, the battery must be recharged or
replaced.
