## PEUGEOT 405 generations

Batteries change from one generation to the next. When two share a year, the body style — or simply the plate — settles it.

## How to know which battery your PEUGEOT 405 takes

The real shortcut is your registration number. It settles generation, engine and factory battery in seconds — exactly where most people get it wrong when buying.

You can also work it out yourself: find the registration date in the vehicle documents and locate it in the table. If the year overlaps two generations, the body style — hatch, estate or coupé — tells them apart.

One last check: the label on the fitted battery gives you the reference capacity and cold cranking. Match or improve those numbers, and make sure the case size and polarity suit your battery tray.

## Start-Stop: which battery your 405 needs

If your 405 has Start-Stop, the battery works far harder than usual — hundreds of restarts a day rather than a handful. That calls for EFB or AGM, depending on whether the system is basic or includes regenerative braking. A conventional battery there lasts months and can make the car switch Start-Stop off.

## Frequently asked questions

### Which battery does a PEUGEOT 405 take?
It depends on the generation and engine: there are 11 compatible batteries in total, from 40 to 77 Ah and 340 to 780 A of cold cranking. The best sellers for this model are Car battery Varta E11 12V 74Ah 680A, Car battery Varta E44 12V 77Ah 780A, Car battery Varta D24 12V 60Ah 540A. With your plate we tell you the exact one in seconds.

### How much does a PEUGEOT 405 battery cost?
Between 44.19 € and 78.70 €, VAT included, depending on capacity and technology (lead-acid). Start-Stop versions (AGM or EFB) sit at the top of the range because they withstand many more cycles.

### How do I know which generation my 405 is?
By the registration year: 405 (1995-2025); 405 II (1992-1999); 405 II Break (1992-1998); 405 II Estate Van (1992-1995); 405 I (1990-1993); 405 I Break (1990-1992). If your year falls in the overlap between two generations, tell them apart by body type (hatchback, estate or coupé) or use the plate finder, which settles it with no doubt.

### Can I fit a battery with more amps?
Yes, as long as the dimensions fit the tray and the terminal layout matches. More capacity (Ah) and more cold cranking (A) do not harm the vehicle: the alternator charges it the same and you gain margin in winter. What you must never do is go below the original figures.

### How long does a PEUGEOT 405 battery last?
Between 4 and 6 years in normal use. Start-Stop batteries (AGM/EFB) tend to last slightly less in city driving because of the number of starts, but they are designed for that cycling. If the car sits unused for weeks or you notice slow cranking in the cold, get it checked.
