Canon 700D battery drain with 2 x convertor

I am having a battery drain issue my Canon 700D when used with a 2 x convertor. If I use it with my canon 70-300mm lens there is no problem and the lens can be left on for months with no battery drain. When I then add a Viltrox C-AF 2 x teleplus converter the battery will drain overnight with the camera switched off. All very odd as I assumed when the camera was turned off there was no supply to anything. Clearly the 2 x convertor is the problem but I don't know why. Convertor does work but I cant' leave it on the camera. Is it because it's a cheapish convertor?

Canon EOS 700D (EOS Rebel T5i / EOS Kiss X7i)
