Mokka Electrical Fault

My 2019 Vauxhall Mokka with a diesel engine is exhibiting an electrical fault. Mileage is 186463 km. Terminal 30 continuous plus is interrupted, leading to poor vehicle start. Could a heavily discharged or defective battery be the primary suspect?

I had something similar on my Mokka. Same symptoms. Any sign of excessive drain? Have you checked for shorts or parasitic draw?

Excessive drain is a possibility I had not considered. Where did you check for shorts? Was your issue also related to the battery?

Yes, battery issues were the cause, but the root was a short somewhere. I'd advise having it checked by a professional to avoid further damage. It is very difficult to locate the short, without professional tools.

Understood. I appreciate the insight. A local workshop diagnosed a defective battery and wiring issue. Replacement and repair cost 290€. Thank you for your assistance.
