Ford BMAX Overvoltage Errors

Yeah, actually, the battery did die on me a couple of times recently. Could a dead battery really cause all this overvoltage chaos?

That's what happened to mine. Apparently, a heavily discharged or defective battery can cause voltage regulator issues. I ended up taking mine to a workshop, they confirmed the battery was shot and replaced it. All the overvoltage errors disappeared afterwards. Might be worth getting it checked out!

Thanks a bunch! I'll get the battery tested ASAP. Turns out you were spot on! Replaced the battery and the overvoltage is gone. Cost me 290€, but worth it to have the car back to normal!

Hey, I had something similar happen with my BMAX. Loads of fault codes popping up, weird electrical gremlins all over the place. Was your battery completely flat at any point?
