Taking the 12 V battery off a Peugeot 5008 Mk2 (P87, 2017–present) is a simple under-bonnet task. Here’s the safe order plus what to re-teach once power is back.
Battery Location
The 12 V battery sits in the engine bay under a cover. The petrol (PureTech) and diesel (BlueHDi) 5008 has no high-voltage system to worry about.
Taking It Off
- Turn the ignition off, take the key well away and give it a minute to power down.
- Undo the negative (−) terminal first and move the lead aside.
- To lift the battery out, undo the positive (+) and the hold-down clamp.
Putting It Back
- Connect positive (+) first, then negative (−) last; refit the cover.
- Set the clock/date; the i-Cockpit screen comes back by itself.
- Re-teach the one-touch windows — our 5008 window guide shows how.
A like-for-like battery doesn’t need coding on the 5008.

My windows won’t auto-close now — why?
