Adafruit motor shield v2 - Current draw

Hi,

Does anyone know roughly how much current the Adafruit motor shield v2 draws when switched on (and not doing anything else)? I've googled and had a look at the datasheet but can't find any info on it.

The two motor driver chips idle at ~1.5mA each. The PCA9685 should draw a lot less than that.
Not sure what else is on that shield, but I guess a total current draw of <=10mA.

Great, thanks Wawa!
