My Levante is acting up, could it be the battery?

I've had my 2018 Levante for about three years now and it's been an absolute joy to drive, but over the past couple of weeks I've noticed some really strange behavior that's starting to worry me. The other day I was driving and the instrument cluster flickered for a split second, then the infotainment screen rebooted on its own while I was in the middle of using the navigation. I pulled over, turned the car off and on again, and everything seemed normal so I thought maybe it was just a one-off glitch. But then yesterday when I started the car, the engine cranked really slowly like it was struggling, and the start-stop system didn't activate at all during my entire drive which is unusual because it normally kicks in at every traffic light. I took it to a local garage and they tested the battery and said it was showing some signs of weakness, but they weren't entirely sure because Maseratis apparently have pretty complex electrical systems that need specialized diagnostic equipment. They quoted me for a replacement but honestly I wasn't confident they knew what they were doing with a car like mine. I've been looking around for someone who specializes in Italian cars and I came across a place that offers expert Maserati battery replacement in Dubai, which sounds exactly like what I need because these cars seem to have very specific requirements when it comes to batteries and coding. I'm planning to take it there this week because I really don't want to risk damaging any of the sensitive electronics by going to a general garage that doesn't understand these cars. Has anyone else experienced these kinds of intermittent electrical issues with their Levante that turned out to be battery related?
