The lens is drawing power from the camera, could be a failing component
on the lenses main board causing a larger than expected power drain.

Shooting today, the battery gauge dropped unusually quickly from full to 1
bar. Well, I thought, it’s an old battery, and must be wearing out.
Then I switched lenses to the 10-17. Full battery again! Switched back to
the 17-70: 1 bar. Hmmm. Tried the 50-200; full battery.
I cleaned the contacts on the lens and body, but this odd behavior
persists. Why should the lens influence the camera’s battery gauge?
