Macbook air battery draining while in sleep mode

Hi all,
We have 2 Macbook air (2013) and lately they loose approximately 20% of battery power over night while in standby mode with the lid closed. This started a little while ago. Cannot recall after which security update but still....
Running the latest OS with the latest patches installed.
Anyone else having the same issues?

Current Apple battery manufacturer/supplier is SMP. If your battery isn't SMP, it's uncertified(?) piece probably without any/or very cheap battery control (heating, charging etc) and it's possibly cause of your problems. It's only my opinion.

+Battery Serial Number on battery MUST MATCH with the one you see in system Infos about battery.

Hi,

My battery from approved supplier. (Replacement battery.)

Still, same issue with my other macbook with original battery and a friends macbook, also with original which is why I posted here. Since my wife is out of town and took hers with her I cannot check the statistics on hers. Same issue regardless of battery manufacturers.

I still suspect something in one of the latest OS uppgrades.

Ps. It wasn’t a cheap battery. Ds.
