Hello to all readers.
Just got a new ZS Hybrid + and have a query regarding the High voltage battery fitted to this model.
The sales brochure indicates the battery is 1.83 Kwh capacity however the Battery information booklet shows a

hybrid battery sq-5.2 ah-1p96s-1 which is a 5.2 Kwh The are both 353.28 Volt batteries the question is which one is in my car.​

I appreciate this my be a dealer question but one never knows who gets to read this stuff.

Hi
This is from a web search, there is a battery in the boot space that is the standard 12v, then the high powered battery situated at the rear.
1.83kWh battery, the details you have quoted may be for the EV version not the hybrid

Producing a combined power output of 145kW/196PS, the ZS Hybrid+ returns excellent economy of 55.2mpg and low CO2 emissions of 115g/km. This is supported by a 1.83kWh battery, allowing for an impressive electric-only driving range – which significantly boosts efficiency.

? 353 V x 5.2 Ah = 1836 Wh = 1.83 kWh. Amp·hours and kilowatt·hours are not the same thing.

I have just noticed you have the MG4, this is posted in the MG ZS HYbrid forum, maybe post it in the MG4 forum, there may be someone with better knowledge of the car there.

you replied the wrong guy... Cloulomb with the MG4 just gave the right answer..

Whoops, replied without checking first.

Thank you Coulomb my fault should have looked closer at the units.
Interestingly it is the same battery in the Mazda 3 and the BMW 3 second hand price about 2500 euro.
My wife drives the car and so far is well pleased,no signs of over revving occasionally gets to 3500.
She is not too happy with the Tailgate not locking immediately,maybe that will get changed with a future update.
