I use it for the HD now and it lasts a week doing 100 accounts

has anyone done this?

I think any draw of power is minimal. Not even noticeable.

I don't have a breaker switch in between the switch (flow controller) as the only way to really stop all draw from a battery is to disconnect the terminals.
