      This has been covered previously in other threads but always worth repeating. The BMS in our MG's has its own program to allow it to...

      Bilstein are good. You can't go wrong. I've not heard of any particular issues with the standard front shocks. At least, nothing out of...

      Data replied to the thread Is this SoH OK?.
      Yes, understood. However for most people smart charging doesn't allow equalisation to happen as the cars BMS is not in charge. The...

      Data replied to the thread Is this SoH OK?.
      Yes indeed, but it works. Look at how many very high mileage Tesla's & indeed MG's there are out there. Batteries still in very good...

      That was Toyota's logic with the NiMh hybrid battery packs, keep a big safety margin at the top and bottom of the voltage range and use...

      My point being that very few people actually get issues with batteries. It is clear "it works ok" might be a better way of putting it...

      No, it can still work, as long as the "unbalance" isn't too great. All cells will charge, but the ones that have the highest voltage...

      I can understand the confusion. The high voltage cells are not being discharged. They are just being charged at a slower rate than...

      The resistors can also bleed energy from a cell when the pack is not being charged, so with balance charging switching on/off or ramping...

      Thankfully MG batteries are excellent quality with very few issues relative to the number of cars out there. Like Tesla they tend to run...

      Especially if the cells and packs are all really well matched to begin with. With lower grade cells that are not well matched, then...

      Your improvement in handling is also very much down to the anti roll bar linkages being renewed. Just doing that alone would have...

      We shouldn't forget that 'Passive Equalisation' works very well. That's why pretty much everyone uses it. Active balancing/equalisation...

      The problem is, these bleed down resistor are such a low value that levels like 2milliamp discharging is about the max. These resistors...

      You are describing 'Active equalisation' Mickey. Very expensive way of doing it, although less wasteful of energy.
