unlike most of you magicians, my battery sucks so i bought another which is fine but when i use it as a backup a day or two later it seems to be at 60 or 70 percent. has anyone with an extra battery seen a drain just from sittgin around?

All batteries drain while just sitting around..

i do agree that all batteries drain just sitting around...but that seems exsessive to me...i carry 2 spare TP2 batteries in my laptop bag and sometimes i will end up not using one for up to 2 weeks...but when i do finally use it it will only really be drained down to between 80 and 90 percent...and these are the cheapest chinese knockoffs i could find on ebay...i think i paid 12 bucks for both batteries and the charger.

They make batteries that last 2x as long but not sure how reliable they are.. Even sell a seperate back phone cover to fit the big thing...

The main thing that drains batteries is heat.. are you carrying these batteries in your pocket?
