Hi:

 

The battery will always discharge a little, even when the notebook is powered off because the battery runs the system clock when the PC is not on, and also if you have fast startup enabled in the power options, that is almost equivalent to a hibernate status, and more battery power is used to maintain that status.

 

You can reduce the amount of battery power consumed when the power is off by turning off the fast startup option in the power settings.

 

See this link for how to turn off the fast startup option...
