Really sorry to hear this, gutting. 
The joys of owning these types of cars sadly.The guy who did the work has suggested I disconnect the battery for half an hour as he had a maintainer on it. Going to give that a try when I get home. Gonna see what the charge rate is before I do that as well.

My E64 threw the same fault, once the battery was charged, all good.

Condenser is fine. I know why the air con isn't working.
What is the cause of the a/c n/w?
This was supposed to be an update saying that I had nice cold air con in the car, but unfortunately not. When the guy did the work, he had to disconnect some pipes. Well it looks like he forgot to bolt the high pressure line back into the pump as the pipe isn't connected so the AC place couldn't regas it. Booked in with them for Tuesday to have it reconneted as it is a special bolt and he needs to order one in. I have no issue spending money on the car, but it does piss me off spending money when it is unnecessary, and this bolt should have been refitted. To say I'm a bit annoyed would be correct.

Sounds familiar. I've just collected my 650i from BMW having its valve stem seals replaced. So they had the engine apart, put it all back together, but forgot the put the air con belt back on. Oh, thanks! So no air-con in the hottest continuous period we've had in ages. Got it sorted somewhere else a few days later, but more money and aggro, that like you, isn't necessary.
