    Balancing the SR (LFP) battery pack

    Yes. This appears to be an error in the software. It seems like the car thinks it is the long range version.

    Mine resolved this issue after an infotainment software update was installed. Now CarPlay is RHD.

    Sold my MG4

    Thank you I was considering that because it sounds like a sensible option. I was just a bit unsure, I didn’t want it to make it difficult for the new owner. Thank you👍🏼

    Sold my MG4

    Hi I have sold my MG4 and the private buyer is coming to collect today. I am aware that I need to “unbind” it in the app, but is there anything else I need to do, such as remove my mobile phone from Bluetooth, or remove anything else. TIA Steve B

    Balancing the SR (LFP) battery pack

    I think that it would be fair to say that the discussions about charging, however informative they may be, have drifted way off topic. Perhaps it might be worth moving this to a new topic, do you think? Thanks. Edit moderator: Now moved.

    Balancing the SR (LFP) battery pack

    But that is exactly what balancing does, it varies the cells there are getting the charge so that you are not always charging the same cells each time.

    Balancing the SR (LFP) battery pack

    You seem to be missing one vital point. The standard range (LFP) batteries do not have any real balancing capacity. Of the 51kWh the “usable amount” is 50.8 kWh leaving just 0.2 kWh for balancing. So it makes very little difference if you balance or not. Normal usage is all that is needed. The...

    Balancing the SR (LFP) battery pack

    One way I suppose, but charging an EV for the general public shouldn’t be so complicated. Just plug it in and let it charge. Limiting it to 80.% mostly (if you have the option) and occasionally to 100%. But Joe/Joan public should not worry about a complex process. After all, independent...

    Balancing the SR (LFP) battery pack

    Balancing occurs when you charge to 100% and so they are balanced every time you charge a standard range SE (unless you stop the charge. There is 0.2 percent spare in the 51kWh LFP batteries so there is virtually zero spare to provide balancing. Honestly for the LFP standard range batteries you...

    Balancing the SR (LFP) battery pack

    You don’t need to use balancing on the SE standard range. The battery is 51 kWh with a usable of 50.8 kWh. So there is no spare capacity to use for balancing. They are different batteries to the long range. The standard range batteries are LFP and do not need balancing and can safely be charged...

    Balancing the SR (LFP) battery pack

    I wonder if there is a factory setting that tells the system whether it is a long range or short range and sometimes they set it in error and then correct it.

    MG4 service - what is covered? Low vs high mileage

    Ok thanks. Glad they could correct it. Discussion about balancing the SR battery pack moved to a new thread. https://www.mgevs.com/threads/balancing-the-sr-lfp-battery-pack.16615/

    Balancing the SR (LFP) battery pack

    With the standard range SE the batteries can take 100% every time and so we don’t have the option of the automatic stop at 80% and surely we should have that option. Even though they can take 100% each charge sometimes you might just want 80%?
