Battery drain?

[Grant Lenahan]

My gut tells me its quite a bit too much, but, nto having a B5 S4 any 
longer, I cannot say for sure.

That means that you will draw 1/2A (roughly) x 24 hours or 12A-H every 
day. Seems a lot.  Its also 6W x 24 hours or 0.15kwH, which also seems 
a lot, just to put it in perspective.

Most electronic devices consume less than 100mA @ 5V. Most much less. 
So is it reasonable that there are more than 10 "at the limit devices 
running 24x7, or maybe 50-100 smaller ones? I dont think so.

I'd look for add on devices with light up displays, or shorts.
