Good evening everyone,
I last used my first edition MG ZS EV on Wednesday and came to the car tonight, but the car was not responding to my key at all. I thought it must be a problem with the key, so I got my partner's key, which I know had recently had a change of battery, but still the same issue.
After doing a bit of googling I managed to open the car with the hidden key in the key fob. I assumed for some reason the 12v battery was flat. I have a Halfords Automatic Battery Charger, but it says its not suitable for EVs.
Trawling through YouTube this doesn't seem to matter, so I attached the clips and the Battery Charging unit said it was charging. However it would only charge for ten seconds or so before stopping, the car horn beeps and then the charging starts again.
While opening the bonnet and seeing the battery, there was a load of gunk on the battery as you can see here
I can't really leave the car while the horn beeps every minute or so. Am I doing something wrong ? Any advice very gratefully received.
Cheers
