X2. Schwintek's (at least some of them) have a motor brake that holds the slide in during travel (and presumably, any other time you have the slide pulled in - don't know about extended); so I'm guessing your slides would take some amount of current from your battery any time your slide is in (like in storage) if you don't have a battery disconnect. See page 3 of the attached Schwintek troubleshooting guide.
