Std Servo Motor - current draw?

What is the max current draw that a std. servo will draw when holding a position?
I had a look at the servo datasheet but it does not give this info!

    I believe it can draw up to 1 amp under a heavy load.· It normally draws around 125ma to 150mA without torque.

    Thanks for the quick reply Dave.
    One more for you - the Hitachi H48C Trip Axis Accelerometer module?
    I can find current draw for the chip itself, but not the module as a whole....

    The current draw for the Hitachi H48C Trip Axis Accelerometer module·is "typical" 7mA and "Maximum" 10mA.

    The first was in response to "Servo current draw" and the second was in response to the "Hitachi H48C module current draw"
