What the Peugeot 304 takes
As a saloon, the 304 uses a mid-size battery that is quick to reach and quick to swap. Daily commuting in slow traffic is what wears it out here.
Older versions of the 304 generally use a standard maintenance-free battery with no registration step, so the swap is quick.
The 208 and 2008 use an L1 or L2 case, roughly 50 to 60 Ah. The 3008 and 5008 share their engine bay and normally take an L3 of about 70 Ah in EFB. The 508, the largest saloon, runs an L3 or L4 between 70 and 80 Ah. Peugeot fits different batteries to the same model depending on engine and whether Stop & Start is present, so the size is always confirmed from the label on the battery in the car, or from the chassis number if the label has faded.

Peugeot fitting notes that apply to the 304
- Before disconnecting, the ignition is off, the doors are shut and the car is left for a few minutes so the BSI can shut down properly.
- After reconnecting, the technician waits about a minute before switching on the ignition. Skipping that pause is what causes odd faults on Peugeots.
- The positive clamp is a lever type. It is lifted fully open before pulling, never twisted off with pliers.
- Stop & Start may show as unavailable until the car has stood locked for several hours and the charge status unit has measured the new battery. That is normal.
Signs a Peugeot 304 battery is on its way out
- An 'Economy mode' message cuts the radio and screen soon after the engine is switched off.
- Stop & Start refuses to cut the engine at the lights even on a long, warm drive.
- Several unrelated warnings, such as ABS, ESP and parking brake faults, appear together on start-up and are gone on the next start.

Peugeot 304 battery: FAQs
What battery does a Peugeot 304 take?
It depends on the model year and engine. The technician confirms the exact size and technology from the battery already fitted or from the chassis number, then fits the same specification. For the 304 we most often fit Varta, Fiamm, Bosch.
How long does it take to replace a Peugeot 304 battery?
Fitting usually takes 15 to 30 minutes once the technician is at the car. Typical arrival in Al Taawun is 20 to 35 minutes, so most 304 owners are driving again within an hour of calling.
Can you replace a Peugeot 304 battery in a basement car park?
Yes. Send the tower name, level and bay number. If the van cannot enter, the technician carries the battery and tools to the car.
Why does my Peugeot say 'Economy mode' and switch the radio off?
The car has decided the battery is too low to run accessories with the engine off, so it shuts them down to save enough charge for starting. If the message appears after only a few minutes, the battery is weak or has not been getting a full charge. A test at the car shows whether it needs replacing or just a proper recharge.
Is there a special way to disconnect a Peugeot battery?
Yes. The car must be left with the ignition off and the doors closed for a few minutes so its body computer shuts down, and after the new battery is connected you wait about a minute before switching on. Doing it in a rush can leave the car with warning lights or windows that will not work.
