It's something MG motors UK recommend doing, Slow charge the traction pack up to 100% on AC charging, (Home 7kw charger or the slow charger that comes with the car)
It doesn't balance the pack on DC (fast/rapid chargers) The MG logo light on the charging flap pulsates when charging, Hard to see in bright daylight but remains solid lit when it's balancing the pack, It goes out automatically when the balancing is done.
If you're plugging in every night & charging it up to 100% then it will balance automatically, It's mainly for people who don't charge to 100% regular or use a lot of DC charging (rapid charging) .
