I've got my S5 back, the ONLY abnormal recorded drain was from my permanent live Viofo dash cam! I'd inadvertently disconnected the rear camera instead of the permanent live feed, so it appears to be my fault, ok hands up if it's my mistake, I'll put it down to senility.😂 I hope they are...

My S5 is currently in for investigation, nothing yet heard after 3 days!

So from this can we positively say the High voltage traction battery is definitely charging the auxiliary battery when it drop to or below 12.3 volts? Knowing if this is correct, helps when my car goes in for diagnostic checks on Wednesday, I also suspect the charging system is possibly faulty...

That is a new and very interesting approach, but if MG is capable of the 12v auxiliary battery being topped up from the HV traction battery whilst locked and asleep, why isn't it? This leads me to think perhaps, what I was told that MG does NOT support this is correct, I'm thoroughly confused...

Yes they did a pretty good deal for us on Hyundai, but since I've got the Excellent Penton MG just a few miles away in Salisbury, I don't need to travel all the way to Pompey, unless of course they do a better deal one day :unsure: :ROFLMAO: (y)

Sounds like you'll be doing a similar thing to me on our 2 year interest free deal MG4, chuck it back to the finance company, they wanted 4 grand more than the car was worth @Black estate . Bought MGS5 in Sept, a tad over 24 grand cash in Sept. I guess your local MG is Richmond, I bought my...

My MG44 gave no problems during the 2 years I had it, never a problem leaving the car parked for 4 weeks at Gatwick Airport @tsedge My current S5 is different, the battery problem happened recently, not from the, sobvostart, so something somewhere has recently failed, I think the battery is...

Just as I reckoned it may be Martin, I'm not sure where the info comes from, as it's not easy to find some things at times which AI does!

An important thing to remember @marcbesty , storing your 12V booster is crucial, NEVER keep it in the boot as its very difficult to access when the 12V is down, I used to keep it under the seat, but it did slip out occasionally, now I keep it on the shelf, under the centre console, after reading...

Hi again Terry, thanks again. My DIY solar storage battery bank is the flooded lead acid type you refer to, i.e. colossal thick plates, each 2v cell weighs 50Kg, I have a bank of 24 of the heavy sods, very difficult to manoeuvre, but solid performance.

Yep there are several threads on this forum, I've detailed parts of the installation of my thread back in September. I've also hard wired to a permanent live fuse, all cables neatly tucked behind the head lining. VIOFO A229 Plus: Dual 2K HDR front + Rear

Sounds like the same issue as I have @marcbesty . I was told a similar thing: "MG expect the car to be driven more often" what a load of b******s, Don't stand for it, keep pushing. Not sure how much you've read of this was my thread on the same subject. 12V battery drained in 48 hours whilst...

Thanks @Lovemyev @emmrecs @siteguru & @Martinonline and all other contributors. It may well be the charge controller, but it certainly charges the auxiliary battery, during HV charging, it also works correctly whilst in "ready" or drive mode, it certainly is NOT charging whilst switched off and...

The car was charged to 80% 2 days ago and was still the same this morning @siteguru , but in that time the battery drained to 3v, parked in the garage. So there's either a serious parasitic drain, or IF the HV battery is supposed to monitor & charge the auxiliary battery whilst asleep, then...

12v battery down to 3v again this morning (09/01/26) Phoned local Penton MG, because this points towards the HV battery not charging while the car is in switched off, I was told this is correct. I was under the impression the HV battery did charge, so long as the the HV battery SOC was above...

@Ian Key My Armrest Storage Box & Center Console Lower Storage Tray, from Ali Express turned up yesterday Ian and fitted (perfectly) today, the armrest is by far the more useful, but both delivered in a week from China , both for £12.49p, including all delivery costs, pick up in China, flight to...

I fully understand what you say Terry, well not actually fully @T1 Terry 'caus I'm unable to correctly diagnose it, I don't have anywhere near the correct test equipment, I'm hoping Penton MG does! But I'm personally kinda pointing towards the possibility of some form of charging malfunction...

Snow chains work incredibly well, I've used them in the Alps!

That'll be fine, I'll pop in and video it at the same time, YouTube may recover the repair cost 😂😂 The days when we were able to repair the cars ourselves! No abs on the ole bus either. :ROFLMAO:
