Corsa Electric discharged battery

I'm having a battery issue with my 2020 Vauxhall Corsa Electric (27854 km). I'm seeing an error message, weak lights, and the battery seems weak when starting. I've checked the terminals. Could this be battery failure?

Hey! I had something similar with my Corsa, though it wasn't electric. My lights acted up, and the car struggled to start. Have you checked the battery sensor? Is the discharged battery happening after a short time? How old is your 12V battery - if your car is throwing errors, it might be close to its end.

I haven't checked the battery sensor. I'm not sure where it is or how to test it. Could you explain the sensor's location, testing methods, or symptoms of a failing sensor?

Honestly, I'm not entirely sure where the sensor is in your model, and with it being electric, my advice might be off. My Corsa is petrol. Given the error messages and discharged battery, I'd strongly recommend taking it to a workshop. It does sound like the battery sensor but electricity in cars gets pretty complicated and I wouldn't want you messing around and potentially causing more damage.

Based on your recommendation, I took my Vauxhall Corsa to a workshop. The battery sensor was indeed defective, just like you suspected. The total repair cost came to 315€. The car runs perfectly now.
