Would poor glow plugs affect the effectiveness of the battery

All was good, after we dropped it off yesterday afternoon, the dealership soaked the glow plugs with penetration fluid overnight and 9.30am this morning the car was ready for collection, there was no drama, even better, the invoice was only £148 😎.

We dropped the car off at the main dealer this afternoon ready for all four glow plugs (No.3 is faulty) to be replaced tomorrow.
Originally the main dealer wanted £227.86 and when I mentioned a local independent service centre had quoted £156.95 (with Bosch glow plugs and not the genuine Vauxhall part) they matched it.
I am aware of the possibility of No. 3 glow plug breaking because of the limited amount of space due to the turbo unit, we’ll find out soon enough tomorrow 😬.
