Same problem Toshiba SATELLITE S50D-A-10C.

Did a little check:
2 HDD's: One with Win8 and one with Ubuntu 12.04 (new install)...
- Plugged in the Win8, booted and then powered off - no batary discharge.
- Plugged in Ubuntu, booted and then powered off - a very quick batary discharge (40%:12hr!!!)
- Plugged in the Win8, booted and then powered off - no batary discharge.
- Plugged in Ubuntu, left off - no batary discharge.
- Booted Ubuntu and then powered off - a very quick batary discharge
under windows 8 there is a proprietary program that manages PC power. Probably under Ubuntu a specific power setting is being changed (something similar to USB charge when off or Wake on LAN or something) and we need to find it and disable it unless needed...

Title:
  High Battery discharge rate when Laptop is off.

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have a HP ENVY 6 1006sa Sleekbook running Ubuntu 12.10. Fully
  charged, unplugged Mains adaptor powered down. 48hrs later re-powered
  charge now only 65% ! The Laptop battery is discharging when the
  Laptop is powered off:

  The gradient looks OK, so nothing wrong with the battery. Left a
  further 48 hrs and the Sleekbook would not start on battery alone.

  While my Sleekbook is in warranty I'm dual booting Win 7 and Ubuntu
  12.10 (Unity desktop). I've done a  Win 7 and Ubuntu 12.10 battery
  drain 'when off' comparison:

  Win7: 4% per 24hrs ,
  Ubuntu 12.10: ~17% per 24hrs.
  (The measurement includes power on and boot to OS to make the measurement)

  Did a longer Win 7 test for improved accuracy:  10% depletion in 7.5
  days or 1.3% in 24hrs.

  Updated the Sleekbook BIOS from F.04 to the latest F.12 – No Change.

  Did a Win7 HP Battery diagnostics check: OK

  Conclude its a Ubuntu kernel issue?
