battery health

Battery recycling is a recycling activity that aims to reduce the number of batteries being disposed as municipal solid waste. Batteries contain a number of heavy metals and toxic chemicals and disposing of them by the same process as regular household waste has raised concerns over soil contamination and water pollution.

    Battery at 97%

    Hi everyone. Just had the second service on my ZS EV 2023 plate, and having had 100% HV battery recorded after the first service, I was shocked to see it had dropped to 97% in the second year, with similar mileage, about 8000 miles per year, 16500 at the time of the service. Should I be...

    MG5 preFL long range new buyer check on SOH + Tesla

    I've used the search function and learned a lot but nothing to help me identify if there's an easy way to identify the state of the battery without recourse to plugging in hardware (I don't have and dealer might not allow but not asked yet) and also to find out if the car has had the Tesla...

    Just got my license and I want to buy a used MG4 Trophy any advice?

    So I passed 3 days ago and I went to look at an MG4 trophy, I immediately wanted one but unfortunately the dealership didn't have the colour I wanted. I have driven one a little too and it's a massive upgrade from a manual. I am planning on getting a black 2023 model with under 20k miles. Does...

    Archived 2021 Dynamic Red Standard Range MG5 Exclusive

    I've just ordered a new MGS5 so it's sadly time to part company with this one :( Bought exactly 4 years ago but exceptionally low mileage (only 14K miles). Had its 4th service and MOT completed just a few days ago on the 17th of June so it's a full year before you'll need to worry about either...

    Can you help estimate battery health for me?

    I've picked up a 2023 MG4 SE Long Range with 17k miles. The sales company were unable to get a battery health check as AFAIK later software will not report battery health on the tools they use. I would like to check the battery is healthy bafore the 1 week trial on the vehicle ends. I drove it...

    How long should the 12 volt, battery last ?

    We have had ther MG ZS for 40,000 miles and I am worried the 12 volt, battery will suddenly let us down - where and when we least expect it to. When driving the meter still shows a healthy charge, but really, a nearly four year old battery still functioning as if it were new?! The longetivity...

    MG4 Trophy - Updated software and "Battery Health Mode" has disappeared & no "Battery Balancing Button"

    My car went into the garage last month as they are still trying to figure out why my digital key wont activate. While they had it in they did a software update. Ever since then my battery health slider has been missing. I used to set it to 80% so it would cut off charging at that but now I have...

    New Car Battery health issue

    I bought a new car (MG 4 Standard model 2022 ) and from the first day I noticed manufacturing defects such as air entering the car at high speeds. Unfortunately, the seller was a bit deceitful, he did not update the software and said the car is working, why do you want to update it! But all this...

    Battery health mode

    I was wondering if this common to all MG4 models, or just my trophy. When I select “battery health mode “ in my vehicle, it always charges to 100% And the option no longer seems available under EV management in the app anymore? I also select 80% in the Octopus energy app and that also get...

    I'm going for my first service tomorrow and I'm assuming I'll get a battery report for the first year. I'll be interested to see how it's degraded as compared to videos I watched prior to purchasing that outlined the typical losses seen in LFP batteries per year. I've a standard range but if...

    Before a long trip?

    Any ICE cars before a long trip I would check the water, oil and levels and do lots of checks everywhere. What should we check on an EV before a long trip? What should tire pressure be at ideally? Is the app accurate? It says 2.6bar on all of them but they look a tiny bit low
