X-T3 Battery Drain and Charge Issue
1

I have four batteries for my T3.  One is OEM, the others are after-market.  For some time now, ive been having the same issue, with all batteries.  I put a fully charged battery in the camera, and the next time I go to use the camera it is dead.  It happens even after only a day or two.  I can't see why the battery would drain that fast, and the camera is turned off.  So either all of my batteries have degraded so much to not be able to hold a charge for long, or something in the camera is causing it to drain.  Anyone else having this issue?

Second question is regarding charging.  I was just away from home... and due to the above issue, had dead batteries. I forgot to bring my charger with me.  But I did have a UBS-C cable, and connected it to the camera, thinking it would charge in-camera.  I had read elsewhere that it is supposed to do it.  But after leaving it plugged in for several hours (green light on on the camera), the camera was still incapable of powering on.  Did I read incorrectly?

Thanks,

T.
