Disconnect Peugeot 3008 (2013) battery

Amouar · 2023-06-25 18:57:04

Hi, I'm planning to not use the car for some time, and would like to disconnect my Peugeot 3008 (2013) battery to prevent it from getting drained by the car electronics. I only have easy access to the + terminal. Is it ok to just unplug it or I must unplug both + and - in order for the battery to not get drained. Thanks

Just + terminal will be ok.

A word of warning. It is usually recommended to remove the -ve terminal first.
If the +ve is removed before the -ve there is a possibility of the spanner touching the car body and causing a direct short to earth which could have serious consequences.
Read "Which Battery Terminal Must Be Disconnected First and Why?" section in this https://www.mortonsonthemove.com/disconnect-car-battery/

You can't actually remove -ve first in the 3008. Here is a video of how it looks like https://youtu.be/reo6HsPxdAE
