2021 MG5 Battery Care

[Paul Hampshire]

Hi, I have recently acquired a 2021 MG5 with 50k miles. Battery health 94% according to garage check / certificate when i bought it. Typical max range 200 - 205 miles so far. Will be almost always charged up at home on 7kW charger.

How often should I charge to 100% (instead of 80%) charge to properly do the "Equalisation" process....monthly? I gather than when get to 100% need to leave it on charger for a few hours to properly complete the Equalisation process. How many is "a few" - anyone got any views on this please? Thank you.

Hi, I charge my two MG5'S to 80-90% and on an Octopus green energy night to 100% monthly or there abouts. If you do it regularly then it does take much longer once it reaches 100%
