I suppose it depends on how long you're going to do it for (not the duration of charge but the amount of charges) if its going to be a few days before you get your power installed, I agree, if it's going to be weeks/months and you need to keep them onside and you are charging it everyday (for example) a box of chocs wont cover it
As I said, the best and only sure way is to determine the wattage rating of the charger. Multiply that by the total number of hours.
Whatever the final number it is, divide it by 1000 to determine how many killowat hours have been used. Then multiply that very low number by 15 pence.
Would be interesting to know the charger wattage rating.
at the moment, my computer is plugged in im charging my phone, frigde and feezer is plugged in, tv on, clock radio on, micro plugged in, just about to make a cuppa
There is no point in finding out the precise amount it will cost. It is so little you would never dream of handing it over as an offering. A nice packet of biscuits will more than cover it.. It would also look better than putting 3p in an envelope and handing that over.
The scooter in question comes as standard with an 8 amp charger.The charger is fully automatic and will put in the power when needed and reduce it as the charge nears completion. It has a 24 volt output. My guess is going by Sparkys figures we are talking 3p.
Perhaps there is no need to even take a packet of biscuits.. 8-)
Thanks everyone, neighbour adamant she isn't taking anything..I will get her some flowers I know she would prefer to chocs. She is also a friend of over 60 yrs.
I didn't want to run her bill up if it was going to be too much. ..I will have my own outside power socket ready for future use.
