If the magnet is an electromagnet powered by the battery, yes.
If you use a conducting magnet to short-circuit the terminals of a battery, yes.
If the magnet is strong enough to physically deform the battery, yes.
Otherwise, it's likely to have no effect.

huh? NO
you drain power from a battery when you short it or connect a load accross it.
if you put a magnet accross the poles of a battery, then yes it will drain because most magnets (if not all) are conductive material. however, I don't see how a magnet could do that just by being near a battery. that's bs.

No
The magnet cannot. Magnets can induce current, and in opposition to battery current but there must be a circuit and the magnet cannot be solid, it must be a changing field.
So a fixed magnet cannot drian a battery or any battery not in a circuit turned on.
