Default Can a LiPo be left connected to the ESC.

I have always left my batteries unplugged from the ESC until I was ready to fly. I now have an aircraft where it is in convenient to connect at the flying site. Assuming that the ESC also powers the receiver and servos and that there is an on/off switch in the receiver to ESC circuit. What could I expect the current drain to be on the battery with it plugged into the ESC and the receiver off? The motor has a separate plug accessible from the cowing so the motor can be !QUOT!safed!QUOT!. Thanks for sharing any actual experiences, no theories please.
