Peugeot 308 Battery Drain

I'm at my wit's end with my 2010 Peugeot 308 gasoline. The battery keeps draining. I'm getting error messages, the lights are flickering, and the car barely starts. The error memory is also full. I suspect the battery sensor. Has anyone else dealt with this?

Sounds familiar! I had a similar problem with my old Opel Astra. Dead battery all the time. Did you check the battery sensor? That was my problem in the end.

I'm leaning towards the battery sensor. Was it throwing up similar symptoms? The flickering lights and error messages are driving me insane. How did you figure out it was the sensor specifically?

Yep, flickering lights were a big one for me too. Constant low battery warnings as well. Honestly, I just took it to a workshop and they diagnosed it pretty quickly. Best bet is to get it checked out.

Okay, thanks! I appreciate it. I took it to my local shop, and turns out you were spot on. Defective battery sensor. Cost me 315€, but at least it's sorted now. Cheers!
