So on P3 cars, this light appears incredibly often. But since you’re at the point of your car not starting, you need a battery.

Of course, you can get a new battery, and I recently had a new battery 80% covered by the dealer, since this is a very well known and documented problem. (My battery was going on 6 years old, so I felt like the discount made it a good time to replace it anyways. The discount was specifically because it is a known issue, and supposedly the new battery is more powerful and “solves” the problem, per the dealer.)
Pros: more powerful, solves problem
I had a 2004 Volvo s60 with a battery that lasted 15 years before I changed it. The mechanics were impressed. Really helped that it was located in the trunk.
Pros: lasted 15 years, mechanics impressed, trunk location helped
Vehicle:
Volvo S60
