This has been industry standard for a long time... if in doubt, you can usually feel the extra contact when you plug in.

Ive been using pot pedals and leaving the 3ft cable plugged into input for simple tear down after gigs. and likewise one less thing to plug in when setting up.
Couldnt get a clear answer searching on this topic. Ive read posts on the goodrich matchbox 6a and other models that say to unplug the output.
but not much on the h10k..

Keenan, the H10K is a battery miser. A good battery, like a Duracell, will last a very long time...even when left on (a plug in the input jack). It's only powering a buffer circuit (very low current draw).
So, I can understand how someone wouldn't notice a particular problem with battery life. I always carried an extra 9 volt for it, and rarely ever needed it...but I always unplugged it when tearing down.
I'm not recommending you leave it plugged in, just saying it's not something to get too worried about.

Mike is correct. Any good buffer circuit should draw very little current from the battery.
However, if you're prone to be concerned, you might consider installing a 10-year lithium smoke alarm battery.
