Most of the peugeot diesels have a 65AH battery fitted as far as I remember. Most battery suppliers will have the correct information.
Hi,
Or even the handbook (although not sure about that).

205 Diesel & turbo-Diesel :
They're right - Diesel engines need bigger batteries, cos the (much) higher compression makes them a lot harder for the starter-motor to turn over. If it's all working fine right now, then I wouldn't worry about it - just be aware that your battery won't last as long as it should.
In future, yuo should always fit the biggest battery that will go into the battery tray - the more powerful it is, the better.
