MG ZS EV Battery charging and balancing

[profdraper]

It will still balance at the end of charge it's just quicker as it's done at the end of every charge

And so you regulary charge to 100% Seems that there's differences of opionion as to 'what MG recommends'.

I don't I charge to 90% as have long range and balance every now and then coming up to 10k miles and SOH is still 100% standard range is a different matter the big clue is MG removed the battery charger limit option to encourage 100% charging and it's not for the batterys health it's for the BMS to help with management

That's what I'd thought too, given that the battery limit is removed in the short range ... am still to find any empical evidence about this yet, or MG's so-called recommendations ...

With a bit of luck one day they'll update the manual lol but at the end of the day you can't change the battery characteristics

It seems the price for higher capacity in NMC batteries, is higher rates of degredation.
