Lexus SC weak battery

I'm having trouble with my 2008 Lexus SC with a gasoline engine. The battery seems weak when starting, and the lights flicker sometimes. The car has 167822 km on it. I suspect it might be the battery sensor.

I had similar issues with my SC. Weak starts and flickering lights. Have you checked the battery voltage? A bad sensor can mess with the charging system. Maybe get the battery tested?

How did you determine it was the sensor and not just a bad battery?

I had the battery tested first, and it came back fine. Then I started looking at the charging system and the sensor. To be honest, I'd just take it to a workshop. They can diagnose it properly.

Thanks for the advice. I took it to a shop, and they confirmed it was the battery sensor. Repair cost was 315€. Seems to have solved the issue.
