Peugeot 108 Battery Issues

Experiencing issues with my 2014 Peugeot 108 (gasoline engine). The battery seems weak when starting, and the lights flicker occasionally. The car has 201103 km. I suspect a faulty battery sensor. I have done some initial battery testing, and the voltage seems low. Could this be related to the battery sensor?

Sounds familiar. I had similar issues on my old Vauxhall Corsa a few years back. Weak starts and flickering lights are classic signs. What voltage are you seeing when the engine is running?

Thank you for your reply. I measured approximately 12.2V when the engine is running. Does this voltage align with what you experienced?

Yep, that's about what I was getting. It definitely points to a faulty battery sensor not regulating the charge properly. I'd recommend getting it checked at a workshop. It could save you from a dead battery down the line.

I appreciate the advice. I will schedule an appointment with a workshop to have the battery sensor inspected. I got an estimate of 315€ for the repair. Thank you for confirming my suspicion.
