BT speaker draining battery while it's off

With the price point of the speaker, that is going to be normal. Temperature Conditions can also affect it.

 So, I recently bought a bluetooth speaker which I'll link down below. It's got great interface, great volume and looks, but seemingly a terrible battery life(800 mAh, though it boasts 10 hours of approximate life). First time I figured the battery was down was not because of any alarm of sorts, but because the audio started cracking down from the phone to the speaker (Both right next to one another) and the video I was watching started slowing down, sometimes being completely still while crackly audio played.

 

  Plugging the speaker in fixes the problem after a few seconds of charging, as long as I keep it plugged. I found this to be completely fine as I often have a charger around.

 

  But today, having left the speaker turned off on my desk for 4 hours (After having used it for roughly an hour or two without any noise cracking issues) I come back to the issue appearing again. I just plugged it and tested, and it works well now. This leads me to believe the battery is being drained while the speaker system is off.

 

 Could this be a factory issue, normal thing, or some sketchy spying conspiracy?
