my airbag light is permenently on and don't know why does this affect my battery

Mine is the same if your car is old 2000 ect, it is very likely it's the "Airbag Rotary Switch" located in the steering. This will have to be replaced but the part is costly, not sure how much but over £100 (I work for Peugeot...staff price £98.99) You might look for one at a salvage yard or parts supplier.
If the car's a little younger then you probably don't have this switch, in that case it can be the wire that runs close to the mechanism that moves the drivers seat back and forth. You may have found that that's what triggered it before! Then it needs tightening. If you know someone good with cars they could fix it for you.
Hope that's some help :)

If the answer from Dennis does not do the trick, try this: - I presume the airbag has not went off. If it has the only way is to replace the airbag. If you know someone who has an o.b.d. error code reader you will have the option to reset the lights (and most other faults) you should also be able to find the fault that caused the warning light to show in the first place. I bought a U480 CAN OBD11/EOBD11 MEMO SCANNER from E-Bay for £25. this unit is very easy to use and comes with a manual giving an explanation of any codes read by the device. You can also reset service lights, See when the car has been serviced etc

There is a switch in centre consol near gearstick that your ignition key fits into. It's usually red. It's so you can deactivate passenger air bag if using a baby seat.
