How long do these things take to charge and if its a long time then do you guys have to hang around on shift while they are charging?
Ours take 5-7 hours, so just plug them in they're fully charged when we come into work the next day.
With commercial electricity charges not capped how much is this going cost royal mail? Have any of these out of town large new offices with big roofs got solar panels?

RM never seem to worry about energy bills. My Unit always has all the lights blazing, and the heaters going in winter, despite the fact that there's only the DOM and the PHG in the building once we've left for Delivery. :crazy:

It's a large Industrial Unit with bugger all insulation and I'm sure the seagulls lay on the roof nice n toasty in the Winter! You'd think they'd at least fit/use timers to help save money. Imagine the savings across the whole Business. :cuppa

Apparently they're planning them at ours.
