What is the reason for the Tiguan L displaying insufficient 12V battery power?

It is due to the quality issue of the vehicle itself, and you can directly contact the 4S store. Below are the specific details of the 2019 Tiguan L: Interior: Continues the exterior and interior design of the 2017 model. Powertrain: The 2019 Tiguan L is equipped with a 2.0TSI engine in high and low power versions. The 330TSI low-power version engine has a maximum power of 137 kW and a peak torque of 320 N·m; the 380TSI high-power version engine has a maximum power of 162 kW and a peak torque of 350 N·m. Transmission System: The new car is matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. Features of the New Car: The 2019 Tiguan L comes standard with keyless entry, one-button start, electronic parking, and other equipment.
Last time I drove the Tiguan L, I also encountered the '12V battery low' warning. It was extremely cold that day, and the car hadn't been moved for a week. The warning suddenly lit up when starting. Later, after checking, I found out the battery was almost 3 years old and tends to discharge quickly in winter. Additionally, my daily commute only involves short trips, which doesn't provide sufficient charging. Plus, the aftermarket navigation system consumes too much power. Now I've developed a habit of taking long drives to charge the battery, and using a charger for maintenance if it's parked for too long, to avoid breaking down halfway. Battery aging is the most common cause; generally, it needs replacement every 2-3 years. Regular voltage checks can extend its lifespan, saving both money and hassle.
