Crossland X weak battery and flickering lights

Has anyone else experienced a weak battery when starting their 2020 diesel Crossland X, along with occasional flickering lights? I've done some basic battery testing, but the symptoms persist. Could this be a defective battery sensor?

Sounds familiar. I had similar gremlins with my Crossland X. Have you checked the battery sensor output? Could be a bad reading causing havoc.

Could you elaborate on 'bad reading causing havoc'? What specific problems did you encounter, and how did you pinpoint the battery sensor as the culprit?

Basically, the ECU was getting dodgy voltage info from the sensor, messing with the charging cycle. I'd get it checked at a workshop; they can properly diagnose the sensor. Probably needs replacing.

Thanks for the advice. Took it to a workshop as you suggested and the battery sensor was indeed defective. Repair cost was 315€. All seems fine now!
