Fahrt, if you'd been following Henry's threads, you might have noticed that he is starting a small RC track and hire venture, so will be charging large numbers of packs constantly, up to 30 packs possibly 15-20 times a day, as you can imagine electricity consumption then becomes a concern.

Right. Understood.

How about computer systems? Lighting? Is it indoor and possibly in need of heat in the cold months?

I'd estimate the cost off the top of my head as being a heck of a lot less than the other costs in his overhead, poor guy has alot of checking to do! Take the other guys advice and buy yourself a cost meter, set it up and check it all out. With all that charging you might be stretched pretty thin, it even takes power to flush the toilet, and that's a lot of people!
