I have a MacBook Pro 13" 2015, Ventura, that is fully refurbished.
It is in good condition and just got new battery.
However, I made some tests and battery drains very fast.
I charged it full, and then removed charger and closed the lid.
I open the lid only to read the battery status.
I found some data that says Macbook should last a lot longer on standby, several days and weeks (3-15 days).
The battery saving features in settings are no longer present in Ventura settings application.
So i figured that they are some how automatic.
Is this issue related to battery, machine or OSX version?
If anyone has a good clue, or knows where I should start to troubleshoot this pls let me know!

EDIT: Post update, to save ppl from reading the whole thread.
Problem was solved by running these commands, as suggested by user @Slartibart.
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 25
sudo pmset -a ttyskeepawake 0
sudo pmset -a tcpkeepalive 0
sudo pmset -a womp 0
sudo pmset -a powernap 0
sudo pmset -a networkoversleep 0
I also ran the command+alt+r+p to rebuild the parameter RAM.
I didnt reset the SMC.
After running the commands, i gave full charge and unplugged 2 similar computers.
Day after i opened the back-cover and made a thermal image, and noticed that some power was consumed by the trackpad. When opening the cover after one night on standby with no charger attached, it was at 99% charge.
After that i did a long-run test, and managed to squeeze 4 hours of 4k video playback out of VLC application before battery was depleted.
Coming night i will make another test, to see how much drain there is on standby with lid closed. Then i will conclude that the problem was solved by running the commands supplied by user @Slartibart.

- After 17hours it is 67% remaining.
- That is more then 1,9% / hour
- That is 46,6% / 24h
- That is dead MacBook after about 48h on standby.
The Macbook is upgraded with a 1Tb SSD, mounted on a small adapter and works very good.
The SSD is a Corsair Force Series MP510. It is 3D triple-level cell (TLC), and has Phison E12 controller.
SSD consumes 30mW on standby, and 6,9W on usage.
Revision: ECFM13.3
I have exact same SSD setup in another 13" MacBook Pro Retina 2015, and that one does not have this issue even if that battery has 1400 cycles on it by now.
