Does anyone know if the 1000cx supplies power to the card when turned off? Are there other cards that don't draw any current and are better suited?

Cheers,

First thing would be to operate the unit without the suspicious flash card.
Battery drain also depends on usage, so if the unit is running most of the time, batteries will drain pretty fast;-)
