MG4 first service charging issues

I don't think so. The manual says all the way on a "slow" charger, which we interpret to mean an AC charger. Also, people have also pointed out that you should leave it low for a wee while (an hour or two) to let the car get a good look at the low SoC before starting to charge.

I've started running mine down for its third go at this, although it will take a fair few days, especially since the weather has suddenly got a lot warmer and I'm suddenly seeing miles/kwh numbers I literally haven't been near since September. My Zappi and solar are due to be fitted in two weeks and I thought maybe wait till I have faster AC charging available, but considering the complications some people talk about with these systems, maybe better do it the simple way this time and learn gradually. Also, I want to do it before I set off on that long road trip in three weeks, to make sure the GOM is as accurate as possible.
I have a Zappi charger and use it to charge my MG4 Trophy, the car has only ever been charged on DC once in almost a years ownership! I usually charge to 80% and then to 100% if we have a longer trip the following day so I guess my battery has been doing balancing without my awareness! Thanks for your reply, appreciated.
 
That's exactly how the manual says to charge the Trophy battery, recommending that you try to do the 100% charge at least every month.
