Tried to see if anything has been posted on this before but couldn't find anything.
Can anyone advise me what voltage a healthy 12V battery in the MG4 should be reading?
I've always understood that a fully charged healthy car battery should show about 14.1V and a battery giving just over 12v could be considered to be at the lower end of charge.
I picked up my MG4 a couple of days ago and I noticed that the 12V battery was showing over 14V for the first day but has dropped steadily to just over 12V. I've not been doing anything to discharge it but have seen several mentions of faulty or poor-quality batteries fitted to some MG4s.
I've had no problems with the car and it has run well since I got it but thought I would be proactive and ask if anyone has any thoughts on what I could expect the normal voltage range to be.
Any thoughts welcome.
