Battery self-discharge

[P.J]

I was read somewhere that AIDA64 may cause battery self-discharge, is it correct?

I don't think so. What could happen is a faster battery discharge when you keep AIDA64 running in the background to monitor your notebook. Monitoring hardware uses a few percentage of CPU load, and that causes higher overall system power draw than without it.

No, in Power-Off (shutdown) mode.

Thanks
