Battery soh

[Kithmo]

Can anybody recommend ( link ) a know working / comparable device please ?.
Oh …. And which App is the most stable and reliable to use.

The one I showed works with the ZS EV app in @Gomev's link above.
Edit: Sorry, googled it to try and find a link and it seems to be unavailable at the moment.

I purchased this last year (for some reason the Amazon link doesn't work) so search this or just OBD2 in general.

Vgate Bianco-verde Bluetooth3.0 OBD2 Code Reader​

and use the app 'Car Scanner ELM OBD2' this is free but after a number of uses asks you to watch a advert to get more free uses. I purchased it (at £2.99 I think) and created my own dashboard. Very stable and always connects first time.
I found the other recommended one (link below) to be unstable with this OBD dongle.

Thank you !.

I don't have the Thai app, I just have the ZS EV app from this forum.

That's the same thing; it's written anonymously by some guy in Thailand. He seems to have some inside connections to MG there.

Our 6 month old MG ZS EV after 15857km (9853ml) indicated today a 99.19 SoH.
Still happy with this level of health given the drive and zippyness of the car which has not changed from day one. Hi from Aus

 

[JodyS21]

SOH update today, 97.27%. Done 10.5k miles, 8 months old.
Only rapid charged about 6 times.
Charge to 100% 3-4 times a week.

There’s some quite different SOH I’m now seeing folk reporting, no idea why.
I think we need to capture some data, I’ll start a new thread....

My SoH is still 100% after 18 months.

My SoH is still 100% after 18 months.

What app is that? Mine is different. I wonder if it only reports full percentages, so you're really 99. something. It's pretty hard to believe you'd still be at exactly 100% after a year and a half.

It's Torque Pro and I'll check re the decimal Place.

Here is the SoH display to 2 decimal places

Can I ask, what OBD is a commonly used for the ZS EV ( link please ) and is it hard to get up and running ?.
What do you need to do regarding the Samsung tablet please ????.
If it is fairly simple, I may just invest in one to satisfy my curiosity / OCD problem .

I can run the thai android app on a recent cheap £30 amazon fire tablet (it wouldn't run on my previous fire 7 from 2020 - too older version of android OS)

Thanks for that info.
We are running on IOS devices, but my wife has a Samsung tablet.
It is about 3 - 4 years old, so it maybe to old to run the software ??.

Well....
my old amazon fire 7 tablet was running, FIRE OS 6.5.3.4
Fire OS 6 – is based on Android 7.1.2 Nougat
= SO It will not work on Android 7.1.2 Nougat I would say.

My new amazon fire 7 table that it works on is running, Fire OS 7 – based on Android 9.0 Pie

I would guess that it maybe works on Android 8 (Oreo) (released on December 5, 2017)
Android 9 was released on August 6, 2018.

Have a look what version of Android your Samsung tablet is running (you maybe able to update it).

Great idea, I'll keep a lookout.
In addition to 15857km (9853ml) indicated today a 99.19 SoH
Rapid charged about 10 times.
Charge to 100% 5-6 times a week. (Overnight)

Thank you for supplying this very useful info @JodyS21 .
I will try and grab her tablet and check the software version.
She has a big collection of books stored on her device and does a lot of reading.
All of my family is running on IOS devices as well, so no chance of anybody having a spare Android unit hanging around.
I could always source a second hand Android phone or even invest in a fire tablet I guess ?.
Thanks once again for your help .

I purchased the Vgate Bianco-verde Bluetooth3.0 OBD2 Code Reader, but cannot get it to connect to the Thai app on either my Huawei phone P30 lite, or Huawei tablet. Perhaps I'll dig out an old Samsung phone, unless there's a trick I'm missing?

I did post earlier in this thread that I found that app to be unreliable with that OBD reader. Try Car Scanner app instead - see below to save you reading further up.

Thank you. I can connect to Car Scanner, but would like to use the Thai app so I can easily compare with all the postings others have made. I specifically purchased this OBD reader on recommendation from this thread, as the previous one I purchased was incompatible, so had high hopes it would work...

You can still compare, the information the apps return is the same, just in a different layout.

I use a Pan Long OBDII Mini scanner I bought quite a while ago when I was looking to buy a Gen I Nissan Leaf but it never came about, Connects up first time to the MG ZS ev using my Motorola Moto G8 Power Lite Android phone.
I think it was around £8.
