Default Range AFM disabler****drain battery?

Box says if car is not going to be driven for a few days to unplug because device could drain the battery. Has anyone experienced this with theirs?

Older ones did, newer ones don't. If you bought it from Range, they'll replace it free with a new one that won't drain the battery. If you bought it via some other route, it's not a free swap.

Ive had a range disabler for over 3 years now in my 17 Silverado. I dont drive much (18,000 miles) and have never had a battery issue. Sometimes the truck sits for 3-5 days too.
