Almera Battery Drain

My 2006 Nissan Almera diesel's battery keeps draining completely. It only has 62823 km. I'm getting speedometer errors, disco lights, overflowing error memory, and the engine barely cranks. Could a dodgy battery sensor be the problem? Has anyone seen this?

I encountered a similar issue with my old Volvo V70: error messages, weak lights, the whole shebang. Is the battery relatively new and of the correct specification?

The battery is about two years old and the correct spec according to the manual. But why would that cause a total drain? Surely a slightly weaker battery wouldn't lead to all these electronic issues?

In my case, despite the battery seeming adequate, a defective battery sensor was the root cause. It was interfering with the charging regulation. I suggest a workshop for diagnostics.

Thanks for the tip! The workshop confirmed the battery sensor was faulty. It cost 315€ to sort it, but at least the Almera is back on the road. Cheers!
