just wondering if this battery behavior is normal.
charge it till its full and shuts off.
1. Store in bag and a day later plug it in to mavic and it's reporting 97% already. Discharge is set to a few days.

2. Turn mavic pro on to connect and modify onboard setting and look at stored video. After less than 10 min already showing 91% from 98% on the Magic pro battery. RC Controller went down a bit too as well (wasn't even using it)

This is concerning due to fact that unit is not even flying or propellers spinning..
 
I guess that's normal. All the electronics and processors built into the Mavic need a lot of power. Just touch its housing at the bottom and think at the fan which is built in for cooling the electronics.

The cooling fan will be running all the time whilst on the ground, the video feed, GPS and telemetry info is constantly going back and forth to the controller/phone. Yes it is pretty normal for it to drain this much.
