I don't know if my Kiwi II drains the battery as it has an auto shutoff. However I do know that I have to turn it on every time I use it which is a PITA.

Are you sure that it drains your battery when plugged in? I leave mine plugged in at all times and if this is true i'll have to stop doing so... but this is the first i've ever heard of this.
