[X98 Plus] Battery issues (100%->0% in 2 days standby)

I bought my X98 Plus especially because of the promised battery life, but I am utterly disappointed. The standard scenario is the following:
- immediately after charging, the battery is draining approx. 0.7% per hour, meaning that I loose 5-7% overnight
- after even the slightest use of the tablet (browsing web, facebook, etc) standby battery drain increases to approx 5% per hour.

in reality it means that I am charging the tablet overnight, disconnecting it in the morning, browsing the news for 20 mins, putting it away (with 90+% battery remaining), and in the evening the battery is around 50-60% with the tablet being on the table untouched the whole time. if I forget to check the tablet in the evening, the next time I am touching it it has a dead battery already.

the same behaviour is present both in Widows 10, stock Android, Mirek's custom ROM and RemixOS. I have the feeling that with the original BIOS the situation was slightly better, but I have almost immediately upgraded to 3.00 (and then 3.02) so it maybe just a placebo.

Do you have any idea how could I troubleshoot the issue? I am aware that the problem is that the tablet is not entering standby/deep sleep mode, but I have no idea how to fix it, since the issue is present with fresh install of different OSs
