I made that mistake and in the morning the car did not start anymore. I had to walk 2 kilometers to nearest neighbour so I can jumpstart it. Not a very pleasant situation if you leave in the middle of nowhere like I do

Why should you leave obdeleven connected over night?? The dongle itself isn't that energy hungry but if you keep the connection it maybe consumes to much.

It does depend on your battery as well, I have left it overnight and it worked fine.
However to help avoid this situation please set your settings / device / device alert to SHOW that way the phone will give you a warning that you have left the dongle in the car.

This can be an issue with particular vehicles. My wife’s parents bought a brand new Nissan rogue and they had setup a Verizon HUM the first week of owning the Car. Sure enough the car did not start the next morning after initial installation. Luckily Verizon reimbursed them for the battery replacement #ParasiticDrain
