Question About Alternate Powered Servos

I have several servos tied into an alternate power source with the signal wire coming from the EZ-B. Question: When those servos are tied into the alternate power do they draw any current when the signal wire is not energized (ie. the EZ-B is turned off)? I want to know if I need to put an on/off switch in line with the power to those servos?

Thanks, Bret

Put a offswitch on the ground of your batt. They can draw tiny bits because the servos controller is always waiting on.a signal to move.
