I’d get it to a dealer , they can plug it in and hopefully read out the error codes with a view to fixing it.

Any German car I've ever owned has done this. When a battery gets old and the voltage drops, you start getting all kinds of sensors throwing faults randomly. Each time, for me, a new battery fixed it.

Very possible. I would recommend that rather than blindly replacing one of the batteries (there are two), to simply test them first and confirm the diagnosis.

Testers are cheap and a valuable tool to have:

I have purchased several of these and give them to my car friends as gifts. They are super easy to use, and can save you from being stranded with a flat battery.
