If the problem is this bad then the manufacturer should be fitting monitors or show battery in the app. Or supply better batteries.

I was thinking the same.

True, so true.

👍 I've installed and deleted the app 3 times, still have the same problem, logged in on another device then logged me out.

I've had nothing but problems so I've deleted the app. It kept saying I was logged onto another device.

Yes you are right, it doesn't show battery state. Only certain countries have it, but the app is hopeless, every time I used it, it logged me out.

I believe it does, the longest I have left the car parked was 2 days the 1st time. The 2nd time it happened I had used the car every day.

Will do. Thanks

I was thinking of doing that but I shouldn't have to do that on a 25 plate car that's 2 months old. 👍

1st time no, but second garage gave me a car, it's mine until they sort this out. It's a petrol hybrid but at least it's wheels.

You would think so but they are the experts 🤣🤣. I will mention it in Monday but don't hold out much hope.

👍, I was going to ask them to put a new one on regardless, even if it means I buy the battery, just for peace of mind.

I have already mentioned the boot could be the cause. No they have not replaced the 12V battery, so now it has been depleted 3 times and been recharged. Me personally I would have put a new battery on but they don't listen.

I was thinking of that but it pains me to do it when the car is only 2 months old. Luckily I bought a jump starter which was invaluable, again I shouldn't have to do this. I wish the MG app (which is rubbish by the way) had the 12V battery monitoring on that.

Will do 👍

Yeah, no dash cam. I've told the garage it needs a auto electrician but all they do is ring MG and they tell them to try different things. It's annoying as I have only had it a month, but garage said I can't reject it and get a refund as they haven't had a chance to repair it. What's even more...

Yeah that's correct, it has a parasitic drain but in 4 weeks the garage are still no further forward. They basically wiped the car and put new updates in and it still didn't work. I'm hoping I find someone with the same issue and how it was fixed.

Hi, I bought a brand new MGS5 Trophy 61kWh on 8th Aug 25, on the15th Sept 25 (a month later) the 12V battery was depleted. I don't use the car with just the 12V battery running, I make sure the car is in the ready mode. The AA said I have a parasitic drain on the 12V battery. MG had the car 6...
