I can´t confirm such drain with my F280. In contrary, when switched on,
the F280 will drain the battery significant less than an T32.
An T32 permanently tries to charge the capacitor. An F280 is much
"smarter" it will charge the capacitor only when the voltage has droped
to certain amount.
As result an F280 can be left switched on the whole day without drainig
the battery. The T32 battery would be dead after some hours.
