I have a T1. I don’t use this thing more than once or twice a month and every single time I go to use it the battery is dead. I tried updating firmware and there was no change in this behavior. It clearly has a high parasitic drain when off and it drains down in a couple weeks it of being off. This appears to be a Lithium battery so I don’t understand why this is happening when it is off. I know it isn’t the battery as it does not drain when I remove it from the tape measure. No other device I have drains it’s battery when it is off so this can’t be normal.
I’ve seen this issue raised numerous times and everyone is told to update their firmware. I have done so multiple times with no change. I just upgraded to 6.15 today hoping it will fix the problem.
This can’t possibly be expected behavior, right?
