Yes. More so if it is connected. Most vehicles today put a parasitic draw on the battery that will drain it down over time. Parasitic draw should be under .050 mA.

What is parasitic voltage?
Parasitic voltage drain is typically power that is being drawn from a power source when an item should be "off". For example; when a car is turned off typically it is still drawing small amounts of power to run a clock or keep an alarm funtioning. This could be considered a parasitic voltage drain. Sometimes in household systems it is also referred to as phantom power. Some companies like Roemtech (which manufactures classroom audio systems) spends a lot of time and money trying to reduce parasitic or phantom voltage drain. This can amount to a lot of power savings over the span of a year.
