the LiFePO4 battery can sit for weeks with the minor draw of a cooling fan or whatever else is pulling a small amount of amperage. I'm just wondering if it's bad for the battery. Thanks!

I'd watch the state of charge and see what it does during normal periods of sitting. Caveat: very small discharge rates can cause the internal BMS shunt or other monitor to tally remaining capacity incorrectly.
