The 308 has had three generations and, unlike the 208, the jump to generalised Start-Stop came earlier: the 308 I (T7, 2007-2013) was still sold without Start-Stop across much of the range and was happy with conventional batteries; the 308 II (T9, 2013-2021) , already on the EMP2 platform, made Start-Stop standard across the range and raised electrical demands; and the 308 III (P51, from 2021) , on the same EMP2 platform, added mild-hybrid, plug-in hybrid and the fully electric e-308. Fitting a 308 II or III with what worked on a 308 I is an expensive mistake. Version Start-Stop Recommended type Indicative capacity / cranking 308 I (2007-2013) 1.4 / 1.6 VTi without Start-Stop No Conventional 60-70 Ah / 540-640 A 308 II/III (from 2013) 1.2 PureTech Start-Stop Yes EFB 60-70 Ah / 640-720 A 308 diesel 1.5 / 2.0 BlueHDi Start-Stop Yes EFB or AGM 70-80 Ah / 720-800 A 308 Hybrid 136 (48 V mild-hybrid, from 2023) Yes EFB or AGM (12 V system) Around 70 Ah / 720-760 A 308 Hybrid 180/225 (plug-in hybrid, PHEV) Yes EFB or AGM (12 V auxiliary battery) 60-70 Ah / 640-720 A e-308 (fully electric, from 2024) — 12 V auxiliary (AGM or conventional depending on year) 50-60 Ah / 480-560 A These are indicative ranges : Peugeot has fitted several sizes within the same engine depending on year, trim and market, and we're not going to invent a part number for you over the internet. What is firm: if your 308 has Start-Stop, it needs EFB or AGM , never a conventional one, and diesel or highly equipped versions call for AGM outright. You can move up from EFB to AGM; never drop from AGM to EFB. Confirm it with the number plate. Golden rule If your Peugeot 308 has Start-Stop, it needs EFB or AGM: never a conventional battery. Diesel and highly equipped versions call for AGM. You can move up from EFB to AGM. Never go down from AGM to EFB. How to find out which one is yours Forget hunting for the part number on forums. Give us the number plate —from the quote form on this page, on WhatsApp or by calling 952 31 01 18 — and we'll confirm the type, the size and the final fitted price for your 308's battery. Want an idea first? Use the "which battery do I need?" test . And if what you want to know is whether yours will survive another summer, the free battery check in Málaga with Midtronics tells you in 5 minutes, no obligation: it measures real charge and health, not just a voltage reading. Three details help narrow it down: year , engine (VTi, PureTech, BlueHDi, Hybrid or e-308) and whether the engine switches itself off at traffic lights (that's Start-Stop, and it changes the battery type). How we do it in the shop No appointment, in about 15 minutes - 01 You give us the number plate - 02 Free battery check - 03 We fit your Varta - 04 Coding and recycling Signs it is time to replace it The 308 has a very recognisable failure pattern, and it's almost always tied to city use and its electronics: - It won't start after a few days parked. A classic when the car is only used at weekends or left in the garage over the holidays. The electronics keep drawing power at rest —and the 308 has plenty— and, if the battery is already old, it doesn't make it. - Lazy starts in the morning, fine in the afternoon. A sign of a battery that's short on charge: in the morning it's cold and flat; after some driving, the alternator has put back just enough. - Start-Stop no longer kicks in at traffic lights. The 308 disables it on its own when the battery isn't at the required state of charge. It's not a system quirk: it's a warning. - The i-Cockpit screen reboots or loses the clock when you switch on the ignition. … ## Buy or change this battery in Málaga Málaga Baterías — official Varta distributor.
