For reference:

The average LED pulls about 35 mA (.035 A) at full bright. The Evo/Gryphon has 12 of them for backlighting (4 of each colors... Red, Blue, Green) which means the LEDs alone pull 420 mA. The processor on the programmer pulls another 50 mA or so, but that stay constant with the key off while the LEDs turn off.

As for leaving the program in and unplugging the programmer, that is perfectly acceptable. Just be careful going to the dealer. If they reflash you with the programmer still in a level, it will disable the programmer. We always recommend returning to stock if going to the dealer for service.
