V90 2018 Battery clarification
I've just started getting the 'Start/Stop Support Battery' alert - as the battery must be 6 years old now, I'm guessing it's due a replacement. But could I clarify which battery it is? I've found several threads here and elsewhere, as well as the manual but I'm still not 100%
The alert mentions Support Battery, which I gather is the one in the front, but it also lists the Start/Stop one, which other threads say is the one in the rear. Obviously I don't want to spend money on the wrong one! In case it sheds more light, before the Start/Stop error, it was showing a 'Power steering assistance temporarily reduced' warning, starting two days after it was recently serviced which searching suggested may also have been battery related, but then that message stopped coming up after being on charge for a day. Would that be related to the same battery used for Start/Stop, or would it suggest both need replacing? |

Pretty sure this will be the small under bonnet battery which has done well to last since 2018. I changed mine in my 2017 V90 a few months ago. Approx £110 from Volvo and plenty of videos on Youtube as to how to swap it. It's a very easy job. No messages ever since changing mine.

Just give it a good long charge using the engine bay charge points and see how it goes, they are usually ok after a charge, give it a boost charge every month or two.
