Peugeot Rifter starting issue

My 2019 Peugeot Rifter with a gasoline engine is giving me grief. Almost 200k km on the clock. Seems like Terminal 30 is getting interrupted, and the thing barely starts. Battery might be toast. Fuses are good. Thinking the charging system is playing up. Anyone seen this?

I had a similar drama with my Rifter. I was convinced it was the starter motor. Is your battery light coming on at all?

Battery light's behaving normally, which is throwing me off. When yours did this, was it a sudden thing, or did it slowly get worse? Did you ever measure the quiescent current?

It was gradual. I tried a few things, but honestly, in the end, I just took it to a workshop. They sorted it quickly.

Took it in. Turns out the battery was heavily discharged and defective. New battery and all is good. Cost me 290€ but hey, peace of mind.
