what battery chemistry is used in a 2021 sr mg5 ?
I may be wrong (and happy for someone with actual knowledge to correct me), but I thought both the SR & LR versions of the MG5 were LFP as well as the facelift ZS SR - with the facelift ZS LR being NMC.what battery chemistry is used in a 2021 sr mg5 ?
Where is the label on the battery please?As far as I'm aware all UK MG5s are NMC. It's easy to check the label on the battery.
Would be handy to know how you tell as that statement refers to LR as far as I know the Standard range are LFP.As far as I'm aware all UK MG5s are NMC. It's easy to check the label on the battery.
Can you explain cycles please, as I may be misunderstanding. I thought that a cycle was discharge and recharge.From what I can gather LFP batteries are far superior in terms of cycles (3000 approx. to 80% capacity), safety and charging efficiency (up to 50% at higher voltage) but that they work better at higher temperatures and performance suffers at lower temperatures.
NMC batteries don't last as long (1000 cycles approx. to 80% capacity, are not as efficient recharging, but do work better at colder temperatures.
Just in front of the near side rear wheel. On the side of the battery casing. Says NCM on mine. I'm not aware of any saying LFP.Where is the label on the battery please?
That was number of cycles from 0% to 100% which brought it down to 80% capacity left (the usual measure for battery lifetime in EVs).Can you explain cycles please, as I may be misunderstanding. I thought that a cycle was discharge and recharge.
So if someone with NMC batteries, such as the Kate and James guy with his 5, charges their car every night after a day's work then the battery will last 3 years (1000 cycles)??
