Mine sat all summer until october and my energizer blue and silver batteries were dead. Normally when I operate allot they will last over a year so the hand held must suck some juice when it is just sitting. I did unplug the base though. I suggest you remove the batteries so you can conserve them

Some people have said that the contacts will draw power out of the CAB2 and back into it unless you tape over the recharge contacts
Personally I'd just get the charger fixed
The remote does draw some current when it's idle, if it didn't, the soft power key wouldn't work. I just measured about 50 micro-amps of current draw with the CAB2 off using a bench supply. Not much, but over time that will suck down the batteries.
