Fender Mustang Micro Headphone Amp

If anyone is still here, I would like to ask the owners a question: Does your battery drain when it's turned off, too? Mine came new with a dead battery, takes hours to charge and is completely empty again after a few days (switched off, that is).
Fender says it's Li-Ion, so none of this should normally happen - at least it doesn't with the gazillion other Li-Ion devices I have.
So, did I get a lemon, or is this how Fender builds them? Or both? :(

thx, apb T.

I've had mine for about a week.

The battery does seem to drain over time. I’ll use mine daily and then I’ll have a week or so where I’m using my normal amp and it won’t hold the charge indefinitely.
 
Great, thank you very much, friend!

I was afraid of something like that, Fender has been good for surprises before.
I still find it a bit annoying. Like my first cell phone in the 90s: If you wanted to use it the next day, you had to leave it plugged in overnight. I thought problems like this had gone away for 20 years.
Recently I found a PS controller that the kids had put in the black hole of their room. You could hardly see it under the layer of dust - the battery was still at ~50% ...

Hi, I picked up the Plus version - love it
Which settings are people using, and has anyone uploaded any they made?
Please :)
Charging with a phone etc 5V powerpack whilst playing makes no noise and the cable just goes to powerpack in pocket
