12v switched outlet?

Just curious if the cigarette lighter outlet under the armrest is a switched outlet? I don't want to drain the 12v battery by keeping an accessory plugged in all night.

I seem to remember some folks plugging in a voltage monitor and being able to read the battery voltage even with the car shut off. If so, then not switched.

The plug is active for a short time after the vehicle is turned off. It eventually turns off. No risk of draining the 12v battery.

Thank you! It switched off about 15 mins after turning the car off.
