If it's a cheap ebay USB charging point, like the one I fitted recently, that uses a ****ty linear regulator to step down from the 12V of the battery, it could easily burn 30mA just doing nothing if you've not wired it to a switched supply that's only live when the ignition is on.

The one I fitted drained a healthy battery in 4 days...
