Just trying to find out why the battery is never more than 50% charge. Who knows it might be the battery have issue? I believe in understanding as much as possible the functions of my car not just step pedal and brake. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though this is only one off, but this FC is achievable. Computational result. Nice FC! Are you driving the classic version? The Mz3 is indeed very efficient on the highways due to its heavier weight at 1.4tonnes which helps it to keep rolling forward. Its always the start/stop that using the most fuel as again, it is a heavier car for its engine capacity. I realised not charging your phone on the car helps too, the engine doesn't have to work more to power the battery for charging. Quite hard though as if need to use carplay it needs to be plugged in. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just go to any shop that sells batteries to let them check and you will know the answer. If not go to TEK and complain lor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sdf5725 1st Gear August 11, 2021 Share August 11, 2021 @RachelKim mine is elegance. Actually with a lot of traffic light stopping and starting, the FC will be very bad. I believe the HP is charged mainly by the battery hence mild hybrid. The one that draw a lot of power should be the air con of the car. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sdf5725 1st Gear August 11, 2021 Share August 11, 2021 @RachelKim I think lithium battery no good for fully charged. It should maintain from 20% to 80% so the life of the battery. Anyway, the battery is used to help to maintain the electrical stuff in the car so I doubt it will charged fully. The only time I got up to 4 bars is when driving in light traffic condition (highway) and with air con off (late night). Otherwise, mostly in 2 to 3 bars region 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike2020 Clutched August 12, 2021 Share August 12, 2021 Is it true that even the lithium battery is dead, we can still drive the car? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, mostly in 2 to 3 bars region Thanks, same for what I heard too to keep charge between 20% to 80%. Recently I don't plug in phone while driving for familiar routes and realise it did go up to 4 bars too. Not much info about the specifics of the M-hybrid can be found online. Below are some observations from tests I made while driving recently about the M-hybrid batt.: - It drains a lot faster when devices e.g. phone are charing in USB. - It charges the fastest when gradual braking from high speeds (E.g. 80km/h to 30km/h) - Regen braking only takes place above roughly 20km/h speeds, any speed below it would just be brake calliper braking. - Regen braking only takes place when foot is fully off the accelerator. Will not activate for any slightest foot pressure. So if want to coast to make the best use of FC, good to have slight pressure on accelerator. Above are just my own observations. Some might think its over do but it is fun for me to nerd out the details of my car. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway it is fun to try to squeeze the best mileage of M-hybrid. I found that I am evolving from speed demon to cultured uncle every time I try to get a better FC based on different experiments. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not just restart till it goes away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_LTH 1st Gear August 18, 2021 Share August 18, 2021 (edited) Had a "Aigbag System Malfunction" message displaying on my instrument cluster so I went to the service centre to get it checked. Realised it was bcus of sudden/emergency brake that triggered the message. This is my first car with ADAS so it was surprising to hear when the person said that to me lol since I have never encountered this problem with my previous car.
