Battery Problems - 13 Creators Edition

Hi all

I am trying to understand if my experience with short GoPro battery life is normal.

I have the 13 Creators Edition.

With the battery installed in the unit it discharges about 2-3% every day whilst the unit is not powered up. Outside the unit the battery still discharges each day although not as fast. GoPro kindly sent me a replacement battery but my experience with the new battery remains the same.

I experience similar loss of charge with the Volta, probably even a higher rate of discharge.

I do not see these discharge rates in other electronic equipment that I own.

Are there quality issues here or are my expectations just too high?

Responses about your experiences will be appreciated.

Is your cameras Bluetooth/wifi on? If so this can use some battery as the camera is always 'listening' for a wake up call from the app/remote.
Either way, battery drain with action cameras isn't unheard of. I have it with my non-GoPro cameras too, and if they haven't been used I check the battery level every few weeks just in case.......
