    Wireless Android Auto / Apple CarPlay adapters

    Using AAWireless two in my MG4 with pixel 6A. Works flawlessly and switches between phones with ease. Best investment I've made.

    Yep. I've been swiping down. Still the same.

    Hey Oz MG4 crew. Is anyone else having trouble with iSmart today? Mine is showing the wrong state of charge this afternoon. It's exactly 20% above the actual charge

    Sound like a solid plan. Well done

    Battery isolation fault help

    Hi David. I'm not sure that the oxidization on the bottom outer shell would cause the leakage in and of itself unless its penetrated the aluminium jackets. If it has penetrated the jackets then its game over anyway. It still remains more likely to be leakage due to oxidization between metal...

    Battery isolation fault help

    I agree with @Coulomb start with an easy module. Flush them with lots of contact cleaner fluid especially around the terminals at the top. Scrub with a plastic brush and try to get under the strapping with something. See how it goes. I'm not so concerned about the bottom of the module but best...

    SAIC iSMART on AU/NZ MG4s

    Part of the issue might be that you are using it on two phones for the same car. The car can only be used with ismart on one phone.

    Battery isolation fault help

    Given how otherwise clean the top of the modules look in the photos I guess the worst of the conductive salts are going to be under the welded on cell link straps. Hopefully you can find something that you can push in under there to help clean it out with the contact cleaner fluid. Might not be...

    Battery isolation fault help

    Hi David. Here's what I'd do next. Take one of the modules, say the worst one out of the pack. Take another reading from the shells/frame to the module terminals again just to confirm the reading. Then soak the top of the module in contact cleaner spray. Contact cleaner is a dielectric fluid...

    Battery isolation fault help

    Hi David. Yes looking at the photos I agree there's nothing obvious showing and the cells in the pack seem to be welded to the link straps so they cannot be disassembled further. Are the cells in plastic or metal jackets? I can see aluminium under the plastic top frame.

    Battery isolation fault help

    Yes, given the pack is already pretty low it's just a case of bringing all the cells to equal the best one. In answer to your question about mixing modules, I agree with @Coulomb . Not something you'd do unless absolutely necessary for example one of the modules has cells below 2v. You wouldn't...

    Battery isolation fault help

    All EV's carry out "top balancing" at the end of a full charge but it can only cope with a very limited range of differential. The MG's are no different. @coulombs advice on how to do it is on target. Allow yourself a week. Ray

    Battery isolation fault help

    Hi David. I understand it's all new to you but believe me when I say you have to be thorough. I recall you saying that the pack is at a very low state already. Water ingress can cause some discharge all of its own. Any imbalance between cells, not just modules will reduce range so it's...

    Battery isolation fault help

    Hi David. Are the battery modules still interconnected to each other? They each need to be fully disconnected for the leakage tests to be valid. If the readings were taken as above, then eack pack with a non-zero reading needs cleaning up. Yes take all the covers off but be extremely careful...

    Battery isolation fault help

    Sorry David. I don't know of any videos illustrating the pack to motor wiring. One thing more that I forgot to mention is borrowing a Megger (high voltage insulation tester) from someone and redoing your pack insulation tests with that. Dala's video here shows you how to use it. This is the...

    Battery isolation fault help

    Hi @ManxViking If you have eliminated the electrical leaks in the modules themselves? then it's somewhere else in either the pack wiring or the cable between the pack and the hv system. Dala's video shows the process for testing the modules very well. You need to be absolutely sure. I doubt...

    Battery isolation fault help

    @ManxViking Looks like you have a big challenge ahead of you. I don't know about the fuse but there is much more to an isolation fault that that alone. The isolation fault could be present in one or more of your battery modules. A battery immersed in water is a huge issue to recover from. You...
