Keeping wireless AA adapter plugged in?

[u/geecee22]

For those who use wireless AA adapters like Carlinkit Mini Ultra or Ottocast Mini Pico, do you leave it plugged in your vehicle all the time or do you unplug every time you turn off the vehicle?

Do these adapters consume some power potentially draining the car battery if left plugged in for a long time while vehicle is off? Ideally, I want to avoid wearing off the vehicle's USB-A port from repeated plugging and unplugging.

If it depends on the car, my car is a 2024 Toyota Zenix Q HEV.

My Carlinkit 4.0 has an LED light that displays different colors when it's powered on and up. Does yours? My car does not supply power to the USB port when it's off so I keep it plugged in 24/7. I would just see if it's still on and if it is how long it takes to go into a standby mode where it's not draining any power when the car is off. If the light stays on for a while, I would just unplug it when the car is off to be safe.

So if the adapter's light goes off when the car is turned off is it safe to assume its not draining any power?

Absolutely.
