What's really annoying is that they could have sidestepped the whole problem by simply putting a simple physical on/off switch on them, instead of the soft on/off button they use. No one uses these cheapo calipers for more than a few minutes at a time anyway, so the battery would probably last a lifetime with a normal switch and no one would notice that it's a power hog.
