  The batery in question is

 So let me review and see if I have all the details.
 Seems like each new
 email has more new details.

 - Battery does not lose charge outside the laptop.
 - Tested the battery in 2 different laptops and the loss is
 the same.
 Roughly 12% overnight.
 - A different battery in those same laptops does not lose
 12%

 Correct in all 3 (but ~12% in a 24h period)

Ah... 24 hours... Looking back you said that in the original email.
So 12% is about 370mAh which at the nominal battery voltage should be
2.2 to 2.5 Wh.  Over 24 hours that a draw of 90 to 100 mW.  Thats high
for the EC not going to into stop mode but perhaps there's enough
error in the measurement to skew the results.

My 1st guess is that something in the battery EEPROM is making the EC
unhappy and its not going into stop mode when the power is off.

Put the funky battery in the laptop and boot it.  Then stop at OFW and
do a 'bat-dump-banks'. Then send on the output.

Done
See attached screenshot.


I don't see anything that looks obviously wrong.  So here's a test to 
see if the EC is going to sleep or not.  Run the battery down to where 
the red LED is active.  Then power off the laptop.  If the EC goes into 
stop mode the red LED should go out after a few seconds.  If you press a 
game button the EC should wake up briefly and the led will turn back on 
then in a few seconds go back out.
