Battery Drain while Turned Off?

  1. Never, ever do that! :scream:

    Instead, log in, close all your applications, open a terminal and execute:

    shutdown --halt now
    

    then press the power button after the system tells you to.

    Alternatively, perform a REISUH instead of a REISUO…

  2. If the laptop still continues to lose energy, even when turned off, that is a normal sign of an older-but-not-old-enough-to-replace-yet battery.

    to confirm, post the output of:

    sudo tlp-stat --battery.
    

:innocent:

P.S. An inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width is a more succinct way of giving a ton of system info without multiple lshw, lspci, lscpu, and/or lsusb commands…
