Its an AGM battery, once it gets depleted heavily this happen. Just replace it. The factory batteries are made by exide or varta so just seek out a same spec replacement from those brands

Pros: Replace depleted AGM battery

The factory battery in my 2007 S60R lasted just under 10 years, and I thought that was remarkable. Much more expensive than an auto store battery though but you get what you pay for I guess

Pros: lasted just under 10 years, remarkable lifespan

Cons: much more expensive

Vehicle: Volvo

Ära Exide akusid osta, need hunnik sitta. Varta akud on okeid. Kui autol on start-stop süsteem siis peab kindlasti vaatama kas autol on EFB või AGM tüüpi aku ja vahetama sama tüüpi aku vastu.

Pros: Varta akud on okeid

Cons: Exide akud hunnik sitta

Walmart EverStart (make sure it's at least a 2 year warranty. The economy power ones are junk) or you can get Exide batteries at Home Depot for pretty cheap.

Pros: good warranty option

Cons: economy power ones are junk

The battery is almost certainly dead.

Something else wrong with your car likely killed the battery and if that's the case buying a new battery will just result in the same problem pretty soon.

Cons: battery is dead

That battery is absolutely cooked, sounds like the cells have sulfated to hell or there's internal damage from deep cycling

The fact that it's only taking 72-94Wh when it should be 600Wh is screaming dead cells, and that voltage drop from 12.8 to 4v in 2 hours is not normal even with parasitic draw

Pros: screaming dead cells

Cons: battery is cooked

The battery is trash - if it was at 4v, the cells are either internally buckled/shorted - or the AGM is damaged and thus will not hold any charge (no capacity).

Pros: check charging voltage/current

Cons: battery is trash
