70D Battery problem

[djguk47]

Not my question but for a work colleague...
He has had a 70D for some months without any problems at all. However, over the last week or so he is having a problem with the main battery in that it will only hold charge for a maximum of 4 days even when not being used and power turned off. He has the same problem with a second battery. Both batteries are genuine Canon batteries.
He has taken the lens of so that the set up is only the body itself and the power switch is set to off.

Anyone else experiencing this problem??

Thanks

Has he left the GPS on? it drains the battery even when the camera is off apparently.

Have a similar issue with a Panasonic compact I have that has GPS. Unless it gets a lock it will keep trying for some time and then battery is a lot lower than you might expect when you come back to it.

Don't think the 70D has GPS, just WiFi ?
