    Is this with the battery inside the computer? When you pull the battery from the computer, there have been no reports of battery drain. It's when you leave the battery in and leave the laptop unplugged from AC power that the drain will occur.

    As rmtschanz says, it will NOT drain unless the battery is attached on the laptop.

    To clear any possible misconceptions...
    It is NOT the battery that is draining the battery levels, it is the LAPTOP.
