As long as the camera is not used (L-position or not), the battery-drain is marginal. The only thing drawing power from the battery is the LCD display on top of the camera. The power-drain is conciderably higher when (half-)pushing the shutter release, as this activates the lightmeter, CPU, lights up the viewfinder-info, activates the film-motor etc...
