What is your question?
I notice that even though the car is off and has been for several hours I can still turn on the radio - without turning the car on. It makes me wonder if something is still running and using the battery even though the car has been turned off for hours. Should the radio be able to turn on without turning the car on?
How long has your 2020 Chevrolet Equinox had this problem?
battery has died several times over the past couple of months.

The radio will be powered without turning the car on provided you have not gotten out of the car since shutting it off. Once you open the driver's door, the power to the audio unit should cease. If this isn't happening, then yes - there could be some kind of a draw occurring. Keep in mind that you should never turn your radio on without the engine running, or use any other accessories, as the battery will lose power precipitously. Certainly, see your Chevrolet dealership for assistance if you continue to have concerns.
