Standby current is the current that a device draws when it is not actively performing its function. This current would be measured in amperage, and commonly amperes, milliamperes or microamperes would be the units of measurement. As an example of a device drawing standby current; a radio transmitter may not be actively transmitting, but the power supply is turned on, and the transmitter is ready to operate. In this case, the transmitter is drawing very little power. A computer can be in standby mode and drawing "standby current" , examples of which are also "hibernation" and "sleep" modes. The computer display and hard disk drives are turned off, and the CPU is throttled down to low power state. However, memory is kept active, which requires just a small amount of battery power.
