I do not think LEDs will be draining the battery. However, what I did notice was that with some LED models it would take compute 20-30 mins to switch them off compare to 20 secs for normals bulbs. Also increased battery recharge warning may be very deceptive. I would recommend using LEDs which were "designed" for a specific model, i.e. do not give any computer errors.
