[QUOTE="forindooruseonly, post: 4205604, member: 13718"] My Mitutoyo digital calipers I bought in March of 2023 have never been turned off, I just leave them on the counter. Still waiting for the first battery to die after 10 months of being turned on. My dad doesn't see so well anymore, so we had to find an alternative to his Starrett dial caliper. They don't see constant use like a machinist, but between me and my dad reloading they see more than average reloading use. I can afford to buy a new battery every year, I just keep a spare in the shop and when this one quits, I will just replace the extra. That said, the cost of Mitutoyo is well over what you want to spend. I can't say how long the battery will last in a less expensive caliper. Beware of cheap Mitutoyos, as there are a bunch of fakes floating around. [/QUOTE]
