Weak battery and flickering lights in the Citroen C1 2022: Possible causes and solutions

Hey guys, I have a problem with my 2022 Citroen C1 (gasoline engine, 182698 KM run). When starting, the battery is weak, the lights flicker or are dark. I think it could be due to the emergency battery of the emergency call system, which may be flat. Has anyone here had similar problems and what did your mechanic say about it? Would like to know more, especially after my recent bad experience at the garage. Thanks in advance!

Hey, had the same problem with my 2019 Citroen C3. Noticed the lights were dim and occasionally flickering when starting. The mechanic actually said that the emergency battery of the emergency call system was completely discharged. Was no small problem as the emergency battery is pretty important. They had replaced the battery and recalibrated all the systems and the car was running like new again. No more worries at night when driving. Hope your problem is solved the same way!

Hey, thanks for your quick reply! That definitely sounds like what I'm experiencing with my C1 as well. Can you perhaps remember the price you paid for the repair? And have you had any other problems since then? Would love to hear more info!

Hey, of course I remember! My mechanic charged me around €110 to repair the emergency call system, i.e. to replace the emergency battery and recalibrate everything. Everything worked perfectly afterwards and I haven't had any more problems with the emergency battery since. It was expensive fun, but in the end it was worth it and driving safety has definitely improved. And you know, safety first, right? So don't worry, after the fix your C1 should be running like new again!

Hey, this is exactly the information I was looking for! 110 is certainly not cheap, but if it helps improve my driving safety, then it's definitely worth the money. And it's reassuring to know that you haven't had any further problems since the repair. I'm off to see my mechanic first thing tomorrow and hopefully I'll get the same positive result as you! Thanks again for your help!
