I don't know about you all but less than 50 milliamps is negligible. An electric clock draws more than that. A car should be able to set for 14 days with little or no loss of starting capability.

A lot of generator cars use a diode instead of a cut out and they don't lose there charge quicky either. Negligible is just that.
