Gary,
There is supposed to be a way to put the throttle to sleep so the battery does not go flat (although this may not be the same as completely powering off - and I can't find the reference right now!
). However, I am not sure it is totally reliable anyway, since our DCC guru at the club (also a DIgitrax dealer) installs a microswitch to physically turn off the throttle when you purchase it through him.
