MG4 Equalisation Charge

[dsr]

Ah, the advantages of Agile. I will have to live with my 6 hours IOG cheap rate and pay full rate for the remainder. All in a good cause.
An aside to Rolfe if she reads this: I cannot see reference to a sub-10% charge in my manual. Probably missing it, but whereabouts should I find it?

The relevant section was quoted earlier in this thread (I think - may have been in another thread).

Edit: it's another thread; can't remember which one though.

Comments enabled me to find the manual page reference = page 295. Was expecting to find it in the battery charging section, which is what fooled me.

Yep - that's the section.

I use OIG like you, but look here for the forward Agile pricing which gives an indication of possible 7.5p slots on OIG;-

Tried to do an equalisation charge today at my place of work, they use "Monta" chargers which have their own specific app.
I set it to charge to 100% to which the charging then automatically stops. However just checking the iSmart app the car is reading a 99% battery charge.

I guess this means it wont equalise and I'd have to set it to charge again?

With Monta I always specify to just charge and don’t set a limit on their app. If I set a percentage, it tries to calculate it based on what I tell it: total capacity of the battery and current percentage. It did not read the percentage directly from the car AFAIK but I might be incorrect on this.

Showing how much of an amateur I am I didn't even realise you could set it to a continuous charge, I've always had it set to 80%!

I've plugged the car back in, set it to continuous and lets see what happens.

Is it an AC charger?
I believe you can't balance charge on DC but I may be wrong.

That is correct. Balancing only occurs on AC charging.
