P0341 is a camshaft position sensor error code while P0455 indicates a large evaporative emissions leak, such as a failed gas tank cap seal. These are likely not related to the battery malfunction. Have a mechanic, like the ones at YourMechanic, inspect the fault codes and test the vehicle’s starting and charging systems.

Cant get my car out of limp mode or "fail safe mode"
