Great. I understand. Thanks very much.

So (for the avoidance of doubt) even using scheduled charging, with an NMC battery, the balancing will occur after the charge reaches 80% and before the car disconnects the scheduled charging session? That would settle my mind greatly, if that is the case.

Thanks for your thorough responses. So, the MG4 manual is not crystal clear about exactly what is required. Seems this has been caused by them trying to keep the manual (too) simple when covering both LFP and NMC batteries. I think the only way for me to be sure is to sit in the car and watch...

Two questions please: 1. Has it been clarified yet whether a full equalisation charge is achieved with an NMC battery at 80%? (or will that only happen at 100%?) 2. Is it possible to achieve a full equalisation charge (at either 80% or 100%) using scheduled charging - or will the charge...

I've had my car for a year now and have only just realised that there is no service booklet, or even maintenance schedule provided with it. Does anyone have a link to a recommended maintenance schedule?

The ability to save One Pedal Driving as the default. I MUCH prefer it, but NEVER use it because you have to set it up every single time - even after you've just popped into the shop on the way home. Useless, as it is.

Thanks for all the replies. Some points: I agree that the SOH figure is not much use as an absolute number: My intention is to use it to monitor the change in SOH as time progresses. I did this with my previous car - a BMW i3 - and watched the capacity fall from 29.6 kWh to 24.4 kWh over the...

Has anyone discovered a reliable way of reading the SOH in the MG4? I have a VPeake ODB dongle. Can't believe that MG has not provided this figure natively through the Infotainment system. My Previous 7 years older BMW i3, did.

And why a left or right when what you really want is forward or back?

Thanks Dixie. I have found that, as you suggested, the Intelligent battery heating had been turned on. I guess I had thought that that would only activate when the car was "on". Maybe not. Still not sure what the recommendations are regarding the use of intelligent battery heating. I find it...

Ah ... but this 29.8 number is supposed to be "Since last charge". That would have been immediately before I took it out of the garage this morning after its charge last night. That charge should have reset it - so, no "long hill climb" in its history.

Last couple of days the power consumption number (since last charge) is not updating. I'd normally leave this for a few days to get a better handle on it, but I'm going to really need that figure during a long trip planned on Sunday. Has anyone else come across this? It is stuck at 29.8 kWh /...

Thanks guys. That's exactly what it was. Very exact instructions fnegroni:-)

I was fiddling with my (new) MG4 settings the other day. Now, whenever the car reaches 37kph, the car "bings" at me with a speed warning saying "Slow down". I cannot now find where the setting is that controls this. Help please.
