I leave one plugged in at the arm rest socket at all times with an iphone plug in it just so its ready to go when i need to charge. Been doing that for 2 years now and never had a battery die. Even after being in winter storage for 4 months with the usb adapter left in it the car started fine so i cant see yours being any diffrent.

You shoudl be good to go!

Yeah, usually it's just an LED that is drawing any power that can be accounted for. I used to leave them plugged in, but I stopped doing that after I dodged the bullet with a defective charger. Something failed in the charger and shorted out. It got hot enough to start melting the shell. I didn't see any of the magic smoke, but you could smell the burning plastic. Luckily I was in the car when it happened. There was nothing plugged into the charger, so it wasn't overloaded. The charger only was plugged into the port in car.
