MickeySw replied to the thread Is this SoH OK?.Isn’t it a bit concerning that the very procedure to increase battery longevity can have the opposite effect? Any advice on how an EV... -
MickeySw replied to the thread Is this SoH OK?.Can you elaborate on the above? No doubt ‘proper equalisation’ will optimise battery performance, but the whole idea of a BMS...
-
MickeySw replied to the thread Is this SoH OK?.The battery is always charged to 100% SoC, however the actual capacity is a bit higher than the spec but all calculations, (range, SoH)...
-
MickeySw replied to the thread Is this SoH OK?.EV manufacturers deliberately underreport the max capacity of a HV battery by a few %, therefore SoH will remain 100% until that...
-
MickeySw replied to the thread Is this SoH OK?.Any chance you have the current min/max cell voltage values?
-
92 load index tyres may fit, but MG EVs are quite heavy because of the battery, so XL tyres with a higher load rating are usually...
-
MickeySw replied to the thread Is this SoH OK?.If you mean after a BMS calibration, certainly, but why would simply balancing the cells affect SoH? The SoH on our MG5 has steadily...
-
MickeySw replied to the thread Is this SoH OK?.Interesting, I always thought that while a battery’s capacity is dynamic the calculated SoH is steadily decreasing according to a...
-
MickeySw replied to the thread Is this SoH OK?.Curious, how much time did pass between the two readings and what was the actual difference?

The procedure is the same on the ZSEV.

MickeySw replied to the thread Battery coolant change (DIY).I don’t have the ZS service manual but I assume it’s the same principle

MickeySw replied to the thread Do not trust SOH. Interesting point. Kia discussion not MG..That's a fact, but as you mentioned this is a legacy issue and not common in modern EVs (although that may change when the current cars...

MickeySw replied to the thread Battery coolant change (DIY).Looks like you need diagnostic access to run the coolant pump..

MickeySw replied to the thread Do not trust SOH. Interesting point. Kia discussion not MG..All EV manufacturers understate the true capacity of their batteries by a few %, to mask the initial, rapid degradation. A SoH of 99%...

MickeySw replied to the thread Do not trust SOH. Interesting point. Kia discussion not MG..Don’t think so, NMC cells perform best around 30deg C, LFP even higher. MG does actively cool the cells while driving (MG5: 10deg or...
