Peugeot 408 Terminal 30 Interruption

Greetings. I'm experiencing a recurring issue with my 2022 Peugeot 408 gasoline vehicle. The 'Terminal 30 continuous plus' seems to be interrupted. The car starts rather poorly. Initially, I suspected a parasitic draw but after some amateur testing, I could not find anything draining the battery while off. The mileage is 104807 km. Any thoughts?

Good day. An interrupted 'Terminal 30 continuous plus' on a 2022 Peugeot 408… intriguing. Given the starting difficulties, the battery condition is paramount. Have you assessed the battery's health under load, or examined the wiring harness for voltage drops? A faulty starter motor could also manifest similar symptoms by drawing excessive current. Furthermore, have you considered the circuit breaker?

Thank you for the quick and detailed suggestions. I have not performed a comprehensive battery load test, nor have I scrutinized the entire wiring harness. Could you elaborate on how to best diagnose a 'voltage drop,' and where circuit breakers are typically located in this model?

Certainly. Detecting voltage drops involves utilizing a multimeter to measure voltage at various points along the circuit, comparing the readings to identify significant losses. The location of circuit breakers can typically be found within the owner's manual or behind the glove compartment. Considering the described symptoms and your troubleshooting attempts, It would be beneficial to have a workshop assess the issue. A systematic approach is prudent. In any case, please take care when working on electrical systems.

I appreciate your time and expertise. I took it to the workshop and as suspected the battery was heavily discharged and defective. I'm getting it replaced for 290€. Thanks!
