Why does the car say 100% Finished when it's still balancing, drawing about 400W as indicated by the green light on my Pod Point charger and on my Smart meter monitor ?
Shouldn't there be an indication from the car that it's balancing ?

Yes, crazy.
 
Update: I left it connected to the Pod Point and about 2-3 hours after it had said, "100% finished" I noticed on my smart meter monitor the draw had dropped down to about 200W (residual use) and I went outside and checked the Pod Point and the green light was now flashing, indicating connected but not charging. I pressed the door button (without the key) and the car now said, "100% uncharging" or something similar, so it did give me an indication that the balancing had finished. (y)
 
OK so what impact was there on the HV voltage? What is the max voltage of a properly balanced MG5 HV battery? ZS is 450v I think?

The 12v battery shouldn't stop the HV battery doing a balance after to has got to 100%.
What problems are you having?
