Hi Walt Lets do some quick maths here: My battery is 58Ah (OEM batt) - that means it will flatten in 58 hours at 1A or in 1 hour at 58A. 11.7mA is 0.0117A 58 divided by 0.0117 equals 4957 hours which is 206 days I would call this a reasonable time for a battery to discharge "on its own" wouldn't you? IMO the emergency unlock is of limited use anyway.
