Expert Reply:

The controllers are designed to stay on after the vehicle is turned off for several minutes. If you leave the truck untouched for several minutes the controller will go into sleep mode. Also, the light draws such a small amount of power that it would take months for it to drain a vehicle battery.

The reason this is a good thing is that you don't lose the presets you selected on the controller. If you cut all power to the controller it would have to be set back up again after every use.
