Thanks for the quick reply. I guess when I think about it, it’s only taking about half a minute of my time lolThe answer is it depends. It is possible to have a small leakage current if the circuit is complete, but turned off. For example, I have a battery powered window shade that eats batteries even though I rarely use it. There is some leakage current in that system. Sort of like the low current used to determine continuity in launch systems.
If in doubt you should physically disconnect something so that no power can flow.
The switch interrupts completely so no power drain. Good enough.keep it hooked up to the connector but don’t actually have the switch armed?
The only dumb question is the one you don’t ask!I feel dumb asking this but…will it drain a 9V battery if I keep it hooked up to the connector but don’t actually have the switch armed?
By far the best way is to simply take the battery out of the circuit, i.e. take the connector off the battery. Which is what you intend to do anyway.I feel dumb asking this but…will it drain a 9V battery if I keep it hooked up to the connector but don’t actually have the switch armed?
