This is my take at fixing the infamous digital caliper fast battery depletion syndrome: Turn off your digital caliper after some measurements, store it away, then need it a few month later and discover that the battery is already depleted. Turns out the ON/OFF switch only turns the screen OFF and cheap calipers are bad at saving power.
The fix consists in a battery case that holds the LR44 battery and can be screwed over the original battery slot, routing the (+) contact through a physical switch.
