Default alarm draw on LIGHTWEIGHT battery...any ideas or experiences here ?

hi all -

Just installed a DEKA ETX12 battery on my EG civic - 180CCA seems to work fine
but I am alittle worried about the 10ah rating on this battery.
I have a aftermarket alarm / 3 point immobilizer / flashing LED and nothing else - no big sound system, etc. Does anyone know what current draw this alarm would likely be ?

On this battery or similar , 10 Amp hours could be referred to HOW many days sitting turned off ?!?! Could i simply disonnect the neg. terminal if staying off for a few days or longer ?

too many questions thanks ben !

use a multimeter to check the current draw.

I've been running an Odyssey PC680 for several years now. If I don't drive the car for several days, the battery goes dead. This battery has taken a serious beating and it still works as long as drive the car every day.
