The digital calipers I have (The HF Classic) have an interesting
characteristic:  The power switch does not actually turn it off.  If you
turn it off, move the jaws, and turn it back on again, it reads the value it
ought to.  This is convenient, but it means the battery always goes dead in
9 months or so, no matter how much it is actually used.
