Ed,
Without taking mine apart and measuring the leakage current it is
difficult to say. Often the current taken to hold up the memory by a
backup battery is no more than the self discharge of the battery
itself, although the discharge will always be slower while the power
is on. Temperature makes a huge difference to leakage currents, so a
module kept in a hot climate will discharge quicker.
Maybe it's time to backup my kits!
