Default Cap LED lights won't shut off

So I just installed my new capacitor. It is this:
http://www.crutchfield.com/p_120PP10...=detailed_info

There are 2 sets of leds, one that goes on when it is detecting power and voltage change and another that is an accent type led.

There is suppose to be a sleep mode when all the leds turn off once it doesn't detect voltage change for a few minutes. The main leds go off, but the accent ones don't. I am not sure if this is a normal feature or what not, but i am just afraid it will drain my battery some how. Anyone have any experience with this?

On the plus side, this cap really made a great improvement to my sound system. I don't experience dimming lights or anything like that prior, i don't have a heavy load system, but it really made a big difference. I still plan to do the big 3 when I have more time.

All the help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Contact the dealer you purchased it from.

Ebay, lol, got a really good deal on a new one, but don't get the support I guess. My buddy told me that it would be on, and since it's leds and not that bright, they would be low draw anyways and shouldn't have to worry. Hopefully he is right, lol.

My Z is not a daily driver and the cold cathode lights from my cap were draining the battery after a couple of weeks. A bit of effort with a pair of wire clippers cured that problem.
