Charge bar 100% but amber colour

[T1 Terry]

The MG4 poverty pack 51, showed an amber colour on the battery % SOC bar yesterday and it stayed that way until the car was shutdown when we stopped at the eye specialist, then green when we set off again ......

Anyone had this and have any idea what it was trying to tell me? It had been on a 10 amp slow charge and left on charge until the green lights went out around the plug ..... and probably another 5 hrs or more after that really, so, if was supposed to be doing a balance charge, it had all the time in the world to get it done ....

There is an old and long thread about it, I think the consensus ended up with its mostly a software glitch when it happens at higher states of charge.

Can anyone advise why the battery level display has gone yellow instead of green?

Personally I’ve never seen red, not even at 4%, and amber happens around 16% I think.

Well, there you go, MG is right onto these faults, this was Nov 2022 that it appeared on the forum, a bit over 3 yrs later and the problem is still there
If is wasn't for this great forum, I'd think there was a serious problem ....
I could try contacting the place I bought it or MG itself ..... Let's see who can come up with the most likely response

I'll start out with "This is feature to show you the bar can show in different colours"

I had a read through the first page, certainly a few funny characters were members back then @tsedge was the winner for the first page Yellow battery gauge

What did the eye specialist say?
