X545e charging & climatisation

I searched the froum but cant find anything re this , unlike my old 530e the x5 connected drive app seems to default to setting climatization to on, no obviously way to turn it off from app
do people generally leave it on ? does it help the battery or is it just cabin comfort

thanks

No button for stopping that I can see in CD app. The display key can be used to stop preconditioning, and car will stop it on its own after some time. Manual says auto-stop is after 30 mins and does not mention preconditioning batteries, only cabin.

I turned it off as was not leaving the house on a regular schedule. If there is some advantage for the battery, I'll enable it again, but I'm not sure there is.

Yes there is. If you are plugged in and use pre heating the car heats or cools and charges the battery again before you leave (partially or completely depending on the type of charger). So you leave with a heated or cooled car and it doesn't need to use battery power to do that. So it makes sense and is also comfortable. I always have it on when I program a departure time. And a program when it is really cold or if I do a longer trip.

You can use preconditioning if you program a least 3 hours before departure. Otherwise it is just pre climatization. Precondition also heats the battery to make it perform better. And heating the battery also needs energy than can be re charged before leaving when plugged in.

If you started direct climatization with the CD app you can turn it off again with the same menu button that turned it on.
