The OBD (On Board Diagnostic) port that Lightfoot connects to is designed to offer free choice of aftermarket service providers and ensure drivers are not locked down to any particular provider/manufacturer or unfair/mandatory charges or costs. This means the driver/vehicle owner gets to decide what they want to connect to it, not the vehicle manufacturer or anyone else.
Lightfoot will audibly alert drivers when they are outside of the engine's sweet spot – and this means it’s doing its job. The unit will only prompt you when you are putting excess strain on the engine and consequently putting yourself at risk. The Lightfoot lights also automatically dim at night or in low light conditions to avoid unnecessarily distracting the driver. We like to think of it as your driving conscience helping you to drive safely, responsibly, and economically!

This means that it will not drain your vehicle's battery. However, it is important to note that many modern vehicles do have a host of power hungry systems (sat nav, infotainment system, and hybrid/EV battery management system) so it is recommended by many manufacturers that a vehicle is not left for more than a week or two without being driven.
