From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Laptops now use the internal main battery as a replacement of the cmos rs2032 battery (in a lot of em at least).
Not that such a low draw cause this level of drain. Maybe the battery is going out as well.
The CMOS battery has maybe 100mA and lasts 5 years. A laptop battery has at least 400x the capacity, it would not drain in a few days.
I checked and yes, there's no cmos battery in it. Do you think this may have something to do with it?
Hard to say. But it's something to consider. Lots of other worthwhile suggestions I see too. Hopefully it's not a combination of things.
Let us know how it goes!
