Mini Clubman weak battery issue

Alright, I'm scratching my head over this one. My 2013 Mini Clubman is showing signs of a weak battery. Starting is sluggish, and the lights flicker sometimes. I've got a hunch it might be a bad battery sensor. Anyone else experienced this?

I had similar symptoms on my Clubman. Weak battery, lights flickering. It could be the voltage sensor. Have you done any battery testing?

Voltage sensor, you say? Where is that located, and how did you confirm that was the problem? Did you also see a weak battery charge?

Yes, weak battery charge as well. I didn't pinpoint it myself; a workshop did vehicle diagnostics and confirmed it. They said the sensor was defective. If you're seeing similar signs, I'd suggest going to a workshop for battery maintenance. It's worth it to get it checked properly.

Just wanted to update you it was indeed the battery sensor. The workshop confirmed it with vehicle diagnostics and replaced it. Cost me around 315€. Thanks for the help!
