Astra alarm system malfunction

My 2009 Vauxhall Astra diesel has thrown me a curveball. The additional battery alarm system seems defective. I'm getting an error stored in the error memory, and the alarm itself isn't functioning. I've got 177678 km on the clock. System diagnosis points to a discharged battery due to aging. Anyone else run into this?

Sounds familiar! Had a similar issue with my Renault Megane a while back. Was it also showing weird electrical issues?

Weird electrical issues besides the alarm? Can you elaborate? Just trying to narrow down the possibilities.

Yeah, absolutely! The car was acting strange. I'd say you should get it checked out by a workshop. They ran a battery check and all seems okay now. But then again it could be something else for you. Best of luck!

Thanks for the info! I had a system diagnosis done, and it turns out the battery was indeed the culprit. New battery later, problem solved. Cost me 330€ but at least it is fixed now.
