Arkana auxiliary battery alarm issue

Hey, I've got a 2023 Renault Arkana hybrid with 173029 km on the clock. I'm getting an error related to the additional battery alarm system being defective. Basically, there's an error stored in the memory and the alarm system isn't working. Could it be the battery is just old and discharged?

I had a similar issue with my Arkana. Is it throwing any other weird electrical glitches? Mine was doing all sorts of strange things before the alarm system packed it in.

Weird electrical glitches? Like what exactly? I haven't noticed anything else out of the ordinary, just the alarm system thing.

Yeah, the alarm thing was the main symptom, but before that, the interior lights flickered a bit, and the radio sometimes wouldn't turn on right away. But if it's just the alarm, it still might be the battery. Best get it checked out by a workshop.

Thanks for the heads-up! Took it to a workshop, and you were spot on. Auxiliary battery was the culprit, likely discharged due to age. Replaced it for 330€. Alarm's working fine now.
