Power leech when powered off? - jazzmans - 01-17-2020
I shut my Pinebook Pro off a week or so ago, (real busy working time right now, no time to play)
Went to power her back up this evening, as I've three days off, and wanted to start playing, and the battery is dead, dead, dead.
Is there a parasitic power drain when the machine is powered off?
If so, is there any way to defeat it?
One of the main reasons for a PineBook pro for me is battery life. I've got four different laptops, two phones, and it's a pita to keep them all 'topped up', so I'd like to be able to power it down, and not worry about the battery for a week, or so.
I've only drained the battery once, and have re-charged it from ~40% once since getting it, if that matters.
running the default oldstable debian.
Thanks. It's a great device, and I'm hoping to make it my 'daily driver' soon.
