Quite a few of us are awaiting an answer about the 500 battery! I just used 25 energy units acquiring candy canes, and wondered if clicking on the "replenish" button would cause the battery to kick in instead of deducting 6 city credits. It deducted 6 city credits, so I strongly advise anyone else experimenting in this fashion
. So I just used up an extra lot of 25 energy units acquiring more candy canes. I checked to see how many I needed for the Christmas tree, and it told me I was missing a very weird number of units, so I checked candy canes in storage. I only had 37! So, since as far as I'm aware, 25 candy canes plus 25 candy canes should amount to 50 candy canes, it seems I've lost 13 of them somewhere along the way!!! Not the first time items seemingly haven't made it to my storage. I'd be on the lookout for any hoodlums and pickpockets wandering around your towns and cities if I were you: they're easy to spot, they'll have a GI logo on their jackets and they'll rob you blind!
