Hello, Oscar, I was doing a research trying to understand whether my battery is just old an needs to be replaced, or whether there is an electrical problem, and a search on Google on "Saab Battery" brings some interesting links. For example: http://www.autohausaz.com/saab-auto-parts/saab-electrical-systems.html gives a long list of battery problems shared between Saabs and Acuras (a brand name for high-end Hondas in the US) with the same Bosch electricals.
