Will the Light on the Curt Venturer NEXT Trailer Brake Controller Drain My Battery?

Question:

Can I leave the brake controller plugged in all the time even when the vehicle is off? The green light continues to show… Will that drain the battery?

Yes, you can! The display light on the Curt Venturer NEXT Trailer Brake Controller item # C74VV is an LED so it draws an extremely low amount of power from your truck's battery. It will not kill your battery.

@JerredH does the same apply to part C51180?

@BrianB No, it's different. The Curt Echo Brake Controller item # C51180 is powered by your vehicle's 7-Way. If your vehicle is not running it won't feed any power to it.
