The instrument display indicates that slow charging is required.
MG4 MY23: Please Slow-charge the Vehicle message appears
Symptoms
- The instrument display indicates that slow charging is required. [1]
Possible causes
- The manual explains that this message appears after a long period without equalisation charging; equalisation brings the charge states of the individual cells into alignment. [1]
Checks
- Verify the message text and follow the slow charging requirements for this configuration; before charging, check that the equipment is undamaged, the connector interface is dry and the vehicle power is off. [1]
What to do
- Complete a full slow charge including the equalisation stage; the time varies with battery configuration and temperature. This entry makes no uniform commitment on charging duration and does not infer cell damage from the message. [1]
