I've got a laptop ASUS x53s. Computer (as an original battery) has date of production 09.2011. When computer is on, then I can work on battery about 3h (from 100% >>> 10%), what satisfy me. Problem is coming out when computer is off (start>>>turn off; not hibernation or sleep).
Battery is full of energy (100%), and after 1 day without using has 85%, and 6 days without using has only 5%. To compare: when battery is out from laptop after week has 98% of power.

I checked actual parameters of batteru (cdm>>>start as an administrator >>> powercfg/energy).
Nominal capacity of battery: 57200.
Actual capacity of battery: 49522.
See full energy report >>> https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/32956889/energy-report.html

I think that problem is IN COMPUTER, which insted of turning off is slurping an energy somwhere... Please help me to precise localize source of a problem and solving it.


Additional informations:
-I'm second owner of this computer, warranty has expired
-Operation system: Win7 HE
-Processor: i5-2520M
-RAM: 8GB 1066MHz in two pieces
-HDD: 500GB Hitachi HTS545050A7E380


Note: It's not about energy plan. Normally I use a maximal efficient plan, because I use a laptop quite intensive - a problem is drainage of battery when computer is TURNED OFF.
 
I'll suggest going back into the Power Options in Control Panel, select "Choose what the power button does" in the left panel and ensuring it is set to "Shut Down" and not a sleep or hibernate setting
 


Ok, I did it and turned off the computer using this but problem is the same = drainage battery when off.
Note: I always turn off the computer using Start >>> "Shut down" button and I see message about logging out and then turning off.

Another idea?
