A battery management system (BMS) is any electronic system that manages a rechargeable battery (cell or battery pack), such as by protecting the battery from operating outside its safe operating area, monitoring its state, calculating secondary data, reporting that data, controlling its environment, authenticating it and / or balancing it.A battery pack built together with a battery management system with an external communication data bus is a smart battery pack. A smart battery pack must be charged by a smart battery charger.

    Second service BMS issues

    Second service BMS issues We have an early gen1 ZSEV Exclusive, low mileage, that we registered from new in 2020. It went through all versions of the BMS updates because we were having timed charging problems and needed to ensure any vehicle software issues were eliminated. By August 2020 it...

    Best battery charging practices

    I wonder if longer term owners of the 2021 MG ZS EV might be able to share their experience about battery charging? I've owned the ZS EV for about six months now and almost always charge at home on a 7kW wallbox scheduled for overnight off-peak power rates. This practice follows the MG...

    BMS - which version?

    I have my service scheduled for later today and want to ensure I get the BMS update that allows for more rapid charging. I rarely ever see much more than 60 kW, and then only for a few minutes. My MG is just over two years old, had its last service in Sept 21. During that service they did no...

    EU4 BMS

    There's a new ZS BMS out with a build number ending in "EU4". This replaces the A01/EU1 BMS, which resolved all those balancing issues. Has anyone had it and were you made aware of the differences over the previous release?

Took car in at 8.30am, took new long range demo car out and waited on update on when my car would be ready. Thought...

    To update or not (BMS)

    New MG ZS EV first edition owner here. My ZS EV build november 2020, seems to be on an older BMS. I asked for all latest updates on delivery, but I have no KERS when fully charged and the battery has 454voltage when full. So guess they said yes, but did nothing. (Shows 268km on E with HVAC off...

    BMS update ?

    I read several threads on here talking about the cars software/ bms updates Comfort 2 etc…. How can you tell what version the car is running on and do they update the car when you service it or do you have to pay separately or is it better to just be blissfully unaware 🤔🤔

    March 2021 registered ZS EV but old BMS?

    This one is a bit odd. When buying a March 2021- registered ZS EV very recently from a non-MG dealer I saw that the temperature was showing in the infotainment screen and the remaining miles in the dash and without checking further thought it must have the latest BMS update. However after my...

    Took the car in for first service on Saturday at Panda MG in Swansea.

    MG / dealer not recognising BMS update as required

    We have an early BMS version (1125600R15) which has caused our car to fail to start after charging. It's been to the original dealer for an update but they did not update the BMS and instead updated the infotainment system. We've not been able to get a reason for this from the original dealer...

    Range issues - Filing a "Warranty Claim" on our Battery or "Rejecting" the purchase

    Hi everyone - I'm keen to hear if anyone has had a similar experience with their range cars, or if we are expecting too much from it. In essence - we don't feel the car's range is as advertised, and are therefore beginning the process of rejecting the purchase (but first attempting to file a...
