Notebook Battery Drains while switched off
I had bought a Dell notebook, 13Z about two months ago. And at first, the battery drained while switched off so I decided to ask for a replacement for my battery. Then after replacing it, I was using it happily for two weeks and after that, I did not turned on my laptop for two days after charging fully to 100 percent. So after two days, I expected full charged battery. But what I saw was mere 34 percent of charge. What happened? It happen to me last time when I did not switched on my laptop for two days. Please help?!

Assuming it's not on standby, check if the BIOS feature wake-up-on-lan is off. This leaves the network card powered to be able to switch the laptop on when a waky-waky signal arrives at the LAN port. Other than that, it should not drain so fast.
Other test is leaving the battery out for the same amount of time. If the battery drains out of itself I'd say a faulty production batch.
