Thanks for the tip. When you say 'sensor output,' what specific values should I be looking for during the battery test?

In my case, the voltage readings from the sensor were inconsistent and often lower than expected. I would strongly recommend professional vehicle diagnostics to determine if the sensor is defective.

Thanks. I took it to a shop as you suggested and they confirmed it was indeed the battery sensor, repair cost was 315€. Appreciate the insight!

I encountered similar symptoms with my 2018 BMW 5 series. The voltage sensor was defective, causing erratic battery behavior. Have you considered battery testing, specifically focusing on sensor output?
