Just a quick video to share what I thought - I know there are perhaps other aspects people might want me to comment on and I've been using them for a few weeks now so if you have a question...
I measured battery current on three absolute origin calipers. Shars Aventor DPS On - 21uA Off - 1.3uA Off from timeout - 13uA Igauge OriginCal On - 65uA Off - 22uA Insize Absolute System On - 7.5uA Off - 1.7uA Off from timeout - 1.7uA
Well, this device simply does not work... see amazon reviews. BUT, this is part of a more serious issue. Like many engineers, technicians and hobbyists, I spend many hours attempting to find a reasonable quality product that does the job. Often now the only option is a Chinese product that is marketed under many 'brand names', very many have such low quality they do not do the job effectively or at all. This I have now concluded is the Chinese Government's methodology for their industries. It is in effect an industrial sabotage aimed at many other, especially western, countries. They fill their factories, collect western currency, and at the same time hamper our own industries and societies. Their low price drives many quality manufacturers to the wall and so as a 'world' society we are ALL directly hampered by the Chinese Government. Their view of the world is that they believe we (the people) are all better off under an inflexible societal regime directed by a few people at the top. This Is XI Jinping's goal, he is an outright dictator now (he got rid of all opposition politicians and made himself total ruler until he dies). My choice now is always to try to buy none Chinese products. So unless you want 1984 to come to your door....
Not sure what you are reading but my callipers still work fine and the item I reviewed has very good reviews and scores 4.5 on amazon. I am aware of Chinese politics and am not interested in a debate.

Brilliant. More than precise enough for my purposes. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Great review. Looking for a budget calipers, there are so many choices on Amazon. Looks like this one will do the job!
Mine are still going strong
Thanks!
Welcome!
Some calipers have high current draw which impacts battery life. Have you measured the battery current while on and off?
No. The first battery did run out really fast, but the replacement seems to be lasting fine. I think it wakes up at the slightest movement.
