Hi everybody,
I have a problem with the battery of my camera.
When I install the latest firmware version Nightly.2014Sep27.7D203 , I run correctly MagicLantern. If I turn off my camera without uninstalling MagicLantern, my battery drains quickly. The problem persists with older versions
Do you have the same problem?
Is there a solution?
Thank you in advance!

Have you removed the card before turning the cam off or very soon after?

Try this:
Turn off cam, wait for about 30 seconds. Remove card.
Still problems with drained battery?

I have had such problems, but could not pinpoint them to specifics, sometimes camera just does not shut down cleanly with ML and thus drains the battery. So when ever I have to be sure tat battery would stay - I remove the battery for 10 secs after shutdown is completed. But so far I have not nailed it to particular thing, except ones we know for sure that hands camera, like removing card when camera is on, changing card, not letting the camera shut down fully, etc.
