For storage, things connected to the pack will draw on the pack. Even if it is a minute amount, the goal is to eliminate as much discharging of the pack as possible.

I do not have a tow mode in my series motor Club Car. If I will be leaving it for a month and no one is around to charge, I will disconnect the pack entirely.
Thanks for answering my question. That does make sense.
