Hi guys. Anyone any idea why on my infotainment screen on my MG4 SE, the normally green battery turns yellow even when the percentage is reading 85%? After several power-offs it goes back to green. Just curious if anyone knows?
 
Just search this board ... it's just "one of those things".

Since I had my last updates nearly a year ago (including 1100R33) the only time I've seen a yellow/amber battery is when the SoC falls to 9% or less. (It goes red below 5%).
 
This is an entertaining thread! Mine has been green for all of the 3 months I've had it, but this morning it randomly went amber with 96% charge. Seems a little overcautious...
 
I think I even took a photo. It was the first time I'd seen it. The key is to look at the driver's screen. The bug only affects the infotainment screen and the driver's screen stays green. When it really means it (at about 12 miles range!) all the screens will turn amber.

Ah, here it is, from earlier in the thread.

Where are you getting those figures from? Or have you just made an educated assessment?

What I have experienced in my car is green down to 9%, amber down to 5%, and red below 5%.
 
If you do a balance charge at 100% does it go green again?

It goes green again on its own pretty soon.

I think other MGs do that so it's a reasonable assumption the MG4 has faulty implementation. As far as I can see the amber colour comes on at 12 miles remaining regardless of % charge, and I have never seen it go red.

This is a ridiculously low point to set the colour change at. If you're not aware you're imminently in need of a charge before you're at 12 miles of range, the tiny remaining stripe of orange on the dashboard isn't going to do you a lot of good.

But the HV battery symbol on the driver display changes colour too, so the length of the battery bar is irrelevant. ;)
