pixel 3 constant battery drain

I recently replaced my 2 year old pixel 3 battery and charge port due to poor battery life and not being able to charge on the google issued usb-c charger (possible water damage).

While both of those issues are fixed now, I’m seeing a crazy amount of battery drain on the tune of 5-10% an hour. It is possible that this was occurring before the replacement, but I just didn’t notice due to the poor battery life.

Even after doing the battery calibration and turning on battery saver, airplane mode, safe mode, factory resetting, etc, I am still seeing constant battery drain per hour. The last test I did was to turn to turn the phone off overnight at 80%; when I woke up in the morning, it was dead at 2%!

This makes me think it might be a hardware issue, or something isn’t allowing the phone fully shutdown.

Does anyone have any ideas what it might be, or what else I can do to try and fix this? Thanks!

Is the new battery an official OEM replacement one? Usually no-name brand batteries don’t have good battery life, and are cheap quality.

I bought the pixel 3 battery replacement kit off ifixit:

and it looks remarkably similar to the OEM one, and I'm assuming they wouldn't sell something that's cheap quality.

Still haven't figured out what this might be; might ask ifixit support to see what they recommend...

I’m also experiencing this issue.

Just replaced my battery yesterday, and I’m still calibrating it, however its draining just as rapidly as before the replacement.
