Thanks for clarifying JomarkhTethered means cable is fixed. Untethered means you connect your type2 lead to the wall box and car

You mean like when you use a 7kw charger at a shopping centre etc?I have granny cable and type 2 left permanently in the boot for when I need it. Having a tethered means I just pop it off the wall and into my car. Why anyone would want to faff about getting it out in the rain and cold plugging it in and packing it away when it's all wet etc is beyond me.
Thanks for the tip AlanB!So how do you tell that balancing is finished on ab MG5? You look at message on screen... If it says 100% finished, it's still balancing. When it says 100% connected,, not charging that's when it's finished balancing.
So basically, when it says 100% finished it means it's not 100% finishedSo how do you tell that balancing is finished on ab MG5? You look at message on screen... If it says 100% finished, it's still balancing. When it says 100% connected,, not charging that's when it's finished balancing.
Yeh that’s correct, it’s as AlanB as written in #27 above finished charging but now balancing then after thats done it says connected not charging.So basically, when it says 100% finished it means it's not 100% finished![]()
Doesn't the display say something weird like "100% Connected Uncharging" instead of "100% Connected Not Charging"So how do you tell that balancing is finished on ab MG5?

'Connected,uncharged!'; which, ironically, is objectively untrue.Doesn't the display say something weird like "100% Connected Uncharging" instead of "100% Connected Not Charging"
Good old Chinglish.
As a new owner of a used MG5 SR, I have you to thank for knowing how to tell I had completed the equalisation charge.So how do you tell that balancing is finished on ab MG5?

It is strange how they word it, roughly how long did the balance take and was the on a 7kW EVSE or the granny 2.2kW unit?As a new owner of a used MG5 SR, I have you to thank for knowing how to tell I had completed the equalisation charge.
I can confirm, at 'SOC:100%' it said 'Finished!'
Some time later still at 'SOC:100%', it said: 'Connected, uncharged!'
How very bizarre!
Did a quick Google translate, English to simplified Chinese of 'not charging', then reversed the translation and it came back as 'no charge'It is strange how they word it, roughly how long did the balance take and was the on a 7kW EVSE or the granny 2.2kW unit?
The balance charge was a using a granny cable. An evconnectors.com Type 2 | 16A CEE Blue Mobile Charging Cable | 5 Metre, With UK 13A adaptor and 5m extension.It is strange how they word it, roughly how long did the balance take and was the on a 7kW EVSE or the granny 2.2kW unit?
