Title. It seems excessive. Even when I fully power it down it tends to drop a lot more than I'd expect.

Thanks.

In stand by you figure that the volatile memory needs to be kept powered so I'm kinda not surprised when the nature of the battery discharging when "shutdown" is a thing.

Thanks yeah I figured. I'm not being very scientific about it yet but for instance none of my laptops discharge that much if I shut the lid and walk away for a couple days, but then again they're bigger cells.

I think they eventually write to disk and hibernate after a while but I might be wrong.
