Thanks! How did you figure out it was the sensor? Did you get any error codes, or did you just notice weird voltage readings?

Well, the voltage readings were all over the place, even after charging. Took it to a workshop, and they confirmed it was a faulty battery sensor. Cost about 315€ to fix. I would suggest you do the same. Don't want to damage other components.

Thanks a lot! I'll get the battery sensor checked out. Sounds like that's the likely culprit. Will post the result after the repair!

I had something similar with my Estima. Have you checked the battery voltage? It might be a defective battery sensor. Is it perhaps showing any strange readings?
