Skoda Praktik Diesel Weak Battery Question

Experiencing weak battery symptoms, such as dim or flickering lights, especially with a diesel engine, could certainly indicate a battery issue. I encountered a similar problem with my previous Volvo some time ago. Has the battery been tested to determine battery voltage under load?

Indeed, battery charge levels were checked. However, the sensor itself wasn't specifically targeted. Could a faulty sensor truly manifest these low voltage symptoms even with adequate battery charge?

Yes, in my case, the faulty sensor was providing incorrect data to the car's electrical system, leading to inefficient battery charge and eventually the symptoms you described. Given the potential impact on battery life and overall system performance, a workshop visit for proper diagnosis is advisable.

I appreciate the insight. The workshop confirmed the defective battery sensor. The repair, including parts and labor, cost 315€. Hopefully, this resolves the low voltage issue and enhances battery maintenance.
