Not sure if that is the same one but.. my electronic vernier has a bad
habit of flattening the battery (2032?) while unused. There was a thread

I disconnect the battery for storage.

I'm forever leaving mine on. Mitutoyo brand and pretty old. Doesn't seem
to make a difference to battery life which is several years.
