So I just started using a new phone charger and I noticed that when I use the cig outlet in the armrest, the chargers light is on and charges when the car is off. So I was wondering will/can this drain my battery if I leave the charger plugged in 24/7. I dont drive too often maybe like 10 mins a day so im worried about draining it. Also the outlet in the cubby in front of the shifter dosent do this, that one turns off

eh, i leave my charger plugged into the armrest outlet (and the little LED to show that it's receiving power stays on). No problems with draining my battery so far (knock on wood), so i don't see it as much of a problem as long as you're not charging your phone with the car off.
