[QUOTE=mykoe817so yes you are correct with the fact that the cap is always on, but it does not keep draining battery. [/QUOTE]
Incorrect all capacitors leak. So there is always a drain on the battery.

Just like your clock in your car is always draining your battery even when the display is not on. It is still using current.

The current drain a capcitor causes when fully charged is nothing to worry about.
