Quest 3 with Elite Strap battery drain while powered off

Since getting the Elite Strap with Battery it now notice that the external battery discharges ~40% in one day when the headset is powered off. Is this a defect?

Always been the he case with the Elite battery straps.  If I fully power down and leave it connected to me Q3 it’ll drain about 15% overnight.  After charging just disconnect the battery cable if you’re not going to use it for a while.  Likewise, don’t leave it on standby for long periods of time.  Do all that and you’ll be fine.
