Hi All. I connected my MG up to my home charger last Thursday night and it started to fast charge as this is the last mode I used on the app. I then switched it to charge on a schedule without cancelling the charge. When I went open the car on Saturday morning the car didn't respond to the keyfob. I checked on the app and it says delayed charge. I have cancelled all charging and even tried turning off the charger at the distribution board, but the charger cable doesn't disconnect and the car is dead. I have been able to get into the car using the key. When the car went onto charge it was about 60% SOC so can't imagine it is drained. Any Ideas anyone ? I have seen a post that shows how to disconnect the charger in an emergency, will try this later.
Update
RAC came around and put jump leads on , within minutes I was able to disconnect the cable and start the car, RAC say the 12v battery is knackered - have contacted the dealer but they don't stock the battery, nor do any of the the three alternative suppliers that I have talked to. Has anyone else had problems getting hold of a replacement battery? it appears that this battery is bit unusual as it has a particularly low height. When I got home I have connected a trickle charger an it seems to be accepting charge. But not sure this is going to hold when I disconnect. The car is booked in for its annual second service in November, so might just ask them to fit new battery. The battery was discharged for about a week, it might just recharge and hold?
