    just had first elec bill - WTF! (UK)

    Hi All Just had first bill through from EDF since purchased I3 and was a bit shocked to say the least that they wanted to increase monthly DD by 71% (£50) to cover new usage and top next 6 months as current DD payments over last 6 months do not cover actual usage. I think I've read before...

    pre-condition without charging battery

    i've read 'proper' pre-conition only happens when plugged in. But if I want to pre-condition every day but no real need/don't want to charge up battery every day then how is this done?
