Hello all.
So, I have read a couple of threads on this forum but can't seem to find the resolution I need.
I left my lights on my mk1 MG ZS EV overnight and the 12v battery is completely dead.
I have a full sized booster (the 8in1 type from Halfords) which I have tried to use.
I got into my car with the key, popped the bonnet and connected/turned on the booster.
The car came to life (along with a million errors)
I left it 20 mins and by this time the booster was almost drained. I turned the booster off and the car immediately died and would not start up.
It was as if the car was bipassing the 12v battery and using the booster but not charging.
I then recharged the booster to full, hooked it up/turned it on again and left it for an hour.
Same outcome.
The car has a full HV battery (albeit one of the errors is that its not powering on) but I'm now stuck with a dead car and no way to charge it.
Advice would be handy as I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong with my first EV!
Thank you.
