Any alarm and tracker battery issues?

Good morning. New to the group having put an order in for the new Rally. Converting from the dark side (many BMWs) so coming to terms with the new Ducati world. Anyway…. defo getting a Biketrac fitted and just wondering if having the Ducati alarm fitted too will cause any issues on the battery? Have put this out there as somewhat bizarrely the dealer (name withheld to protect the innocent) has suggested this might cause excessive battery drain so just after some real world experience please? It’ll be on trickle charger at home so that’s fine but as I tour regularly I need to be confident of going away for 2-3 weeks with the odd 2 or 3 night period off the bike. Defo don’t want the departure morning worry if the thing will start! Acknowledging most people ignore alarms but it keeps me happy! Every layer helps, I hope🤞. Thanks in advance.

hide an apple tag in it somewhere.......youll be able to see where it is at all times. The batteries last over a year and the tag only costs circa £30!

I get that as a budget alternative but doesn’t offer the same sort of tracking and reliant on someone with an Apple product being nearby Vs full tracking and call as soon as it’s been moved. Comparing oranges and apples here I think?
 
Yeah, there's just not that many Apple devices in the world.
Apple tag also alerts people close by if an unknown tag is following them so pretty pointless in this scenario! Gone off topic here ……
 
I'm not sure it was ever going to get much traction on a forum which favors the sportbikes anyway.

I see. New to this entire forum trying to blah info. Any suggested sites more multi focused? Thought this was a sub section for multi but not on your comments?
