What i dont get is why and how is the unit consuming energy by doing nothing. After the tube is charged, does it need more power to conserve this charge ? It's not like let's say a capacitor where when it's charged it's charged? I guess the noise that comes from the flash when left idle has something to do as well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------- In SE mode the flash goes to sleep after the set time as does your camera. It does not continue to charge the flash. There is a small amount of currrent being used for what I would call "stand by" mode, but this is not enough to drain the batteries unless you leave it on a few days.
