nothin at all unless you have a security system and then it would very little and not enough to hurt your battery.

It wont be much. Probably in the miliamps. Just enough to maintain the station memory in the radio and the ECU settings/memory.

According to Mitchell Ondemand, anything above 30 milliamps is excessive.
