Yes it charges the 12v battery when it is plugged in to chargerI wonder if it's something to do with being plugged in, mine, on iSmart is showing 13.0v. Which is VERY different from your 14.6v.

Makes sense, but MUST also be kept up from the main battery too. Mine is due to start charging at 9.30 so I'll have a look then.Yes it charges the 12v battery when it is plugged in to charger
I must admit I fill a bit spoilt with this charge anytime at 5p
I don't conduct as much night time driving now as I use too, but I did notice that when using the ( Gen 1 ) at night, the battery voltage constantly reported above 14 volts, more often reporting 14.5 volts.Sounds OK to me
One thing you can try is to make battery charging 12v work harder stick on heated rear screen and seats with high beam on and blower set to high I it can keep above 13v then all is good
So, big "clunk" as the charger started, battery straight up to 14.7 volts
No Bruce - I am not on charge.So, big "clunk" as the charger started, battery straight up to 14.7 volts
No, that's mine, clunk up to 14.7vNo Bruce - I am not on charge.
I removed the charging cable before I did the checks for you !.
The car WAS plugged in, but it is set up for a delayed charge in the early hours of the morning.
The increase in the 12 volt battery SOH, was produced by the HV battery sending charge via the inverter in the car, when the car was in the READY mode.
Charging of the 12 volt battery only happens when the car is either in READY mode OR when pulling a charge from a wall box etc.
In STANDBY mode the 12 volt battery is NOT receiving a charge.
Hope that make sense.
As promised, I checked the 12 volt battery voltage while driving today.No, that's mine, clunk up to 14.7v
Agreed.That isn't battery voltage.
What you are seeing is charger output voltage.
I just had the warning come up this morning. at 620 Miles, 20 days old.
Also showing 13.3 v for the battery.
Going to call MG to see what they say

That is great to hear and I hope its all sorted now.OK, just a little follow up, Car in the garage yesterday regarding the 'Maintain Vehicle Soon' warning......
Apparently, this is a warning for a 'comfort check' that was discontinued some time and shouldn't still come up.
This might be true but TBH sounds a bit ?y to me. Anyway, the warning's gone.
Who knows? I did go to the Honda side of the service place and maybe they call it something different.That is great to hear and I hope its all sorted now.
Question ?:- What the hell is "Comfort Check" when it's at home ?.
How does this fit in with a "Maintain Vehicle Soon" warning, that sounds very much like a service interval request ??.
I wonder if it's new speak for "Heath Check" ?.
These can be called on other by other makes and models ( VAGroup ) at similar times to the service call intervals, but can be independently set / re-rest.
This happened to me on two occasions, when submitted my ( VAG ) model for it's regular service, then about a week latter, I received another request for a service !.
The dealer had reset the service indicator schedule but not the health check schedule and the light came back on again !.
If this was the case, that may explain why it keeps appearing, because it has never been reset ???.
What is the reported date in the info unit, for next ( first ) service date ?.
Does it align with your original collection date, or 12 months from now ?.
My TCLR just started doing it. Only do e 629 miles from newI've had the new ZS Trophy Connect for 12 days now, Wednesday I had a Warning light come up. Says "Maintain vehicle soon". Yellow triangle and exclamation mark stuck on corner of dash and full text warning on start up each time. I've done 900 miles so far.
Talking to 2 dealerships (one local and one where I bought it) they say it just needs to be brought in and turned off as it's some how thinking it needs a service when it shouldn't for a further 14k miles or so.
With the cars being new to the dealerships , they were keen to understand what it was and help for the future reference.
I'll keep you posted on what happens and if it is anything more than a simple warning error.
Anyone else had a similar warning?
