[Battery]Drain while computer is OFF?!

Forgot about this and the laptop; didn't turn it on since back in that time and today it wouldn't turn on if i didn't charge it, meaning it lost quite lot of power during ~1month, way too much for it to be normal i'd say..

Actually, depending on the laptop, they do lose power sitting "unpowered". Truthfully, they're not truly unpowered or the electronic power switch wouldn't work!

The amount of loss you're seeing suggests bad batteries, I don't trust anything used nowadays, too much mystery as to what you're getting.

Assuming you had been turning it off fully [by, for example, using the cmd I gave you in post #2] & assuming Device mgr does not show an error then your battery must have a physical defect because your battery report indicated that you'd only used up about 20% of its life.

I also think you probably need to replace the battery but, since you have already done that once, it might be that your computer's internal battery management components are defective but I've never seen that in practice and cannot account for all your symptoms that way anyway.

Perhaps the only sensible way to proceed is to fully recharge the battery then disconnect it from the computer & put it to one side for a month to see what charge is left after that.

Do ask your computer maker's support dept & have a look around their user forums.


Best of luck,
