But the current required to keep the remote module 'alive' varies widely from brand to brand. Some draw as much as 10 mA (0.01 amps), so this would completely drain a 5 amp-hour battery in:
0.01 amps = 0.24 amp-hours per 24 hour day
5 amp-hours @ 0.24 amp-hours per day = 20.8 days.
So your battery will be completely drained in just under three weeks - if you have one of these really inefficient remote modules. When buying these remote modules there is no information on standby current consumption so there is nothing to go on.
Your idea of removing the fuse for storage is a good one...
