Peugeot 308: Preliminary check : Before fitting the ancillaries battery on the vehicle (Except traction battery)

ESSENTIAL : Observe the safety and cleanliness recommendations .

ESSENTIAL : All personnel carrying out work on a vehicle fitted with traction batteries must have received specific electric vehicle training and be authorised to work on these vehicles(observe the regulations in force in the respective country).

ESSENTIAL : All personnel working on vehicles with a fuel cell stack must have completed the STELLANTIS training courses required to work on these vehicles(observe the regulations in force in the respective country).

Regardless of its design, an ancillaries battery is subject to a slow discharge in storage due to the phenomenon of natural self-discharging of the battery (4 % per month).

A voltage of 12 V or less corresponds to a critical level of discharge which may result in damage to the ancillaries battery (the ancillaries battery charge status must be more than 30 % of its nominal capacity).

After repair, the return to the customer of a vehicle fitted with an ancillaries battery which has been stored in the warehouse for a fairly long period at a voltage of 12 V or less often leads to a breakdown resulting in customer dissatisfaction and expense for the Marque. Consequently, an ancillaries battery which has a voltage at rest of 12 V or less must not be fitted on a vehicle.

In order for the new ancillaries battery, fitted on the vehicle, to fulfil its functions fully, over time, carry out the following operations and checks.

Operations	Checks to be made
Visually check the condition of the ancillaries battery	No damage, knocks, cracks, corrosion of terminals, electrolyte leak
Check the conformity of the ancillaries battery	Conformity of the specifications of the new ancillaries battery in relation to the specifications of the vehicle’s ancillaries battery (*)
Check the expiry date of the ancillaries battery	The expiry date of the ancillaries battery must be later than the date of fitting in the vehicle
Check the ancillaries battery charge status	Check the ancillaries battery charge status and charge it(if necessary)
Fitting the ancillaries battery in the vehicle	Check the tightening of the terminals and the operation of the vehicle

N.B. : (*) The specifications of the ancillaries battery are available on the manufacturer’s portal or on the APV PR label.

N.B. : For vehicles fitted with the Stop and Start function, in order for the customer to be able to use this function following the repair of his vehicle, the ancillaries battery must have a level of charge greater than 75%, charge the ancillaries battery if necessary before fitting it on the vehicle. The recommended tools, and also the voltage levels below, take this requirement into account.

1. Visual check of the condition of the ancillaries battery

After removing the packaging, carry out a thorough visual check of the ancillaries battery.

Check that there is no damage :

• Impact
• Cracked
• Corrosion of the terminals
• Electrolyte leak

2. Checking the conformity of the ancillaries battery

Note the specifications of the vehicle’s ancillaries battery and compare them with those of the new ancillaries battery (*).

N.B. : (*) The specifications of the ancillaries battery are available on the manufacturer’s portal or on the APV PR label.

The specifications differ according to the battery standards :

• "a" Size (L0, L1, L2, L3, L4 or L5)
• "b" Capacity in Ah
• "c" Starting current in Amperes and standard (EN, JIS, IEC, EN2)
• "d" technology (Normal, VRLA or EF)

N.B. : "normal" technology if there is no indication.

CAUTION : Fit an ancillaries battery which has the same specifications as the vehicle’s ancillaries battery (Refer to the manufacturer’s portal or to the APV PR label).

CAUTION : Never replace an ancillaries battery the label of which indicates EF or VRLA technology with an ancillaries battery of "normal" technology. It is compulsory to fit an ancillaries battery of the same technology.

3. Checking the ancillaries battery expiry date

"e" Expiry date indicated on the ancillaries battery label.

CAUTION : The expiry date of the ancillaries battery must be later than the date of fitting in the vehicle.

4. Recommendations for checking the state of charge of the ancillaries battery

Only a battery tester can diagnose the general condition of the ancillaries battery, the tester diagnosing not only the state of charge of the ancillaries battery, but also its ability to be recharged.

CAUTION : Use of a voltmeter duly calibrated is tolerated in exceptional circumstances. A voltmeter can be used to ascertain the ancillaries battery charge status by reading its voltage, but not its capacity to recharge.

5. Checking the state of charge of the ancillaries battery using a battery tester

CAUTION : It is imperative that the ancillaries battery is checked before it is fitted in the vehicle.
