Brake Systems and Toad Battery

Hi all,

So I've set my TOAD up with a Roadmaster Even Brake and of course it uses the Toad battery to run it's compressor and ancillary parts. I haven't done anything to charge the battery in the TOAD. In your real world experience, will it be necessary or does a brake system use a negligible amount of energy to run on a daily basis? I know there's variables, but on average, is running down the Toad battery a concern? The Even Brake manual says the unit will go into a battery saver mode, so there's that, too.

Edited to add:The Toad is a FIAT 500 so no key in the ignition and no other drain on the battery other than the normal clock and radio stuff.

TIA,
Eric
