Peugeot 308: New vehicle preparation : Check of the ancillaries battery 1 - PEUGEOT vehicles

ESSENTIAL : Observe the safety and cleanliness recommendations .

Whatever its design, an ancillaries battery is subject to slow discharge while on stock, this owing to the following phenomena :

• Natural self-discharging of the ancillaries battery (4 % per month)
• Existence of permanent power consuming equipment as a result of the vehicle not having been inhibited by placing the shunt in the parc position

Regular recharging of the ancillaries battery will keep its charge intact.

A voltage lower than the nominal voltage (around 12 Volts) corresponds to a critical level of discharge which can lead to the ancillaries battery suffering damage.

The handing over to the customer of a new vehicle fitted with an ancillaries battery that has been stored with its voltage lower than the nominal voltage often engenders problems that spell dissatisfaction to the Customer and cost to the Marque.

Check the state of charge of the ancillaries battery while it is on stock, when destocking and also during the New Vehicle Preparation (PDI), so as to prevent it from reaching the critical level of discharge.
