MG ZS EV 2022 - Battery pack types

[Mihir]

I've bought a MG ZS EV Trophy Standard Range and love the car!

I was having a quick glance at the manual from the MG website - https://www.mg.co.uk/sites/default/files/2021-11/MG ZS EV MY19 Owner Manual.pdf and under the section of Equalisation Charging, it talks about the Indicating Charging Times for battery pack type 1 and type 2

I am wondering what these battery pack types are? And how to know which battery pack type am I on? Does this mean the Standard Range batteries are Type 1 and Long Range are Type 2? Or vice versa or am I missing any important information? The type 1 and type 2 battery packs are referred in the technical data section for traction control as well but I could not find any information differentiating the two clearly.

Any information here if anyone knows will be quite helpful. Here are some screenshots from the user manual:

From that I would say type 1 is LR type 2 is SR

I can't see why not in the future the ZS is still new and still covered by warranty so no real need yet but no doubt there will be third party battery packs and software just like there is now for the leaf

There are firms doing a refurb / replacement battery now, it’ll only be more of a thing by the time your ZS is out of warranty

Thanks,
Any idea of names of these firms for my future reference

Quick Google search should suffice, however there’s no point looking until you’re close to being out of warranty

I think type one is LFP battery and type two is Li - Ion battery.
LFP you charge to 100 % regularly SR 279 EST miles.
Li -ion you charge to 80% once a month go to do a slow charge to 100% LR & Trophy LR 387 EST miles

The trophy can come in SR LFP as well

Like many EVs (Tesla for example), short range versions use LFP chemistry, long range are NMC.
