Eli5: Why do charged electronics (Game controllers, eReaders,) lose their charge when they’re not being used?
In: 1469
All batteries are releasing electricity from a chemical reaction. While drawing power from the battery can make the reaction go faster, it cannot be made to stop completely. Also, for most charged electronics “off” isn’t off, it’s just a low-power standby setting waiting for them to be switched back “on”.
