Peugeot 108 Battery Issue

My 2019 Peugeot 108 (gasoline engine) is playing up. Getting error messages on the dash, lights are dim, and it's struggling to start at 251885 km. Battery seems totally drained. I've checked the terminals, they look ok. Anyone seen this?

I had a similar issue with my 2014 Opel Astra a few years ago. The symptoms you describe - error messages, weak lights, and difficulty starting - all point towards a potential battery or charging system malfunction. Does the error memory include any specific references to the battery or charging system?

Yeah, the error memory mentions something about a faulty battery sensor - does that add up with your own experience?

Yes, in my case, the root cause was a defective battery sensor. Given all the symptoms and the stored error, I would suggest visiting a workshop, so they can thoroughly inspect the battery sensor and charging system. I had to pay 280€ for this, but since you have a newer car, the cost of the repair may be higher

Thanks for the insight. I took it to a shop as you recommended. Turns out the battery sensor was faulty, as suspected. Cost me 315€, but at least it's sorted.
