I can add to this having found a comprehensive label in front of the rear left wheel as shown below: and since the chemical type is NCM, Lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxides, I can charge it to 100% many many times?

Thanks MickeySw. The only label I could find is near the front right side. A search for a 100 RES-020039 showed no results on Google! Searching for "ATBS" showed me that SAIC agreed in 2009 that ATBS be the main supplier of EV batteries after linking with A123 - no luck there either. Would you...

I think I'll call my car an MG5 SW long range. In terms of charging calculations, it seems the battery is about 60 kWh but I think the spec indicates 50 something. The EV database states 52.5 kWh. I've asked 2 garages to take the HV battery cover off so I can read the label (I want to know the...

I didn't know there was any battery heating in my 21 plate MG5. I have a 57 kWh MG5 Exclusive SW first registered March 2021 and there's no battery temperature reading or any means of turning on/off battery heating. Where is this on your car?

I paid £26.5k in October 2022 for my used 2021 MG5 Exclusive without realising it has no Adaptive Cruise Control. Now, similar models on Autotrader are £16,000 - a depreciation of over £500 per month or over £6k per year. It's awful and I understand why you have negative equity in your car...

How's this for a 2021 MG5 Exclusive? Pic taken September 2023. Now, in Glasgow during winter/spring, it's more like 2 miles per kWh for short trips on a daily basis!

MG5 Exclusive first registered March 2021 In January 2024, I had to have 2 new front tyres at 20,000 miles and I bought 205/60R16 HANKOOK K117 96V XL from Kwik Kit, £247.96 including eco tyre disposal, fitting, etc. I'm told they're longer lasting. They are certainly quieter than those fitted by...

The infotainment computer must be sent back to MG in Longbridge by an MG dealer, e.g. Arnold Clark. For my pre facelift MG5, it took 3 or 4 days before I got the car back. I could not find a user setting in the Chinese hidden menu.

Hmm. I'm learning. Thanks. So the Nickel Manganese Cobalt battery in my car should be charged to 80% (as the manual suggests) with monthly 100% for cell balancing or in preparation for the occasional long journey. And aegisbattery.com suggests that NMC batteries are good for 1000 charges: at...

Thank you. Interesting to know. According to EV-Database at MG MG5 EV Long Range, the battery in my long range 2021 MG5 SE iExclusive is Lithium-ion. Is SAIC/MG Motor using LFP now or in the future?

This is a good question! I charge to 90% mainly due to the fact that there's no regen (braking effect) over about 95% charge. I note that the car handbook states recommends 80% with a monthly charge of 100% to "balance the cells", but since so many people (like the next post) maintain that...

Interesting! The smaller battery in your SR compared to my LR must account for the better efficiency! Thanks for your post.

After a year from September 2022: A recent trip, Glasgow to Market Harborough to Wolverhampton (in that order) at a chilly 12 deg C and motorway speeds: I charge every 100 miles. 200 miles up the M6 from Wolverhampton in atrocious wet and windy weather, but warmer, including a charge just...

Thanks to all about jacking up my 2021 MG5, rotating tyres and about the sun cracking tyre sidewalls. My rear tyres look new; the front ones are wearing so I'm rotating them. Our 2005 Vectra has cracked sidewalls and plenty of tread left and the Halfords guy says that some makes are more likely...

That's useful info and I found lots of slotted pads on Amazon and eBay. Thank Alb

I like the idea of a slotted piece of hardwood to fit over the sill seam which I can then attach to a couple of sissors jacks to prop up a side of the car. I could then swap front and rear tyres (I'm supposed to put front to back and then rear to front oppposite side but I'll keep it simple!).

Thank you, Alb The back top end of the jack (below in your pic) goes into the oval slots in the sill or alongside them. I've added a picture of the underside of my sill below. Above: The pic from your post shows a black rubber piece that perhaps is used to support the sill? Perhaps this is a...

Page 198 of the car user guide/manual shows how to place the car jack: But there's no car jack in the car, nor is there anywhere in the polystyrene fitting where it should be fitted. The text in the manual tells me to: Note that the domed head of the jack must fit into the corresponding recess...

I read your post with interest and tried to leave my 7kW home charger on for several hours to get the battery equalisation done and perhaps have KERS 3 at 100% charge too. I don't know if all the cells equalised on my 21 plate SR exclusive and it was unable to get KERS 3 to engage until under...

Hi Dragon 2611, where did you get a BMS cell monitor and how did you produce the graphs?
