Howdy,
 Absolutely.  That is what the PRAM batteries are there for.  They keep
the system settings when you are unplugged.  It does not take much
power, but you do run them down faster when you are unplugged.  When you
are plugged in, they are not being drained by the computer at all.  They
are just naturally discharging, as batteries always do.
Good day,
Ralph
