Mitutoyo Series 500 Solar Powered Digital Calipers
One of the minor drawbacks with using an electronic digital caliper was the fact that it was battery powered and there was a need to ensure that you had a spare battery on hand should the one in your caliper go flat. It’s a problem that will only occur on the rare occasion but you can be sure that the time it does will be the time that you simply must have the most precise measurements possible.
Mitutoyo have solved this problem with the Mitutoyo Series 500 Solar Powered Digital Caliper. This series of calipers require no battery and it also retains its origin point after the caliper has been turned off.

Consumer Reviews
Overall, this a nice digital caliper for the money. I did some research on digital calipers before buying, as there are a lot of cheap digital calipers available. However, reviewing the many inexpensive ones seemed to consistently show that many had problems with zeroing out reliably, and also the cheap models will continue to drain the battery even when they supposedly power themselves off. I read an article showing that the cheap calipers were still actually measuring while "off", but that the screen was just shut down. The Mitutoyo, while slightly more expensive, reportedly has a exceptionally longer battery life. While you do have to remember to turn the unit off manually, I have accidentally left it on overnight with no problems. I have had no problems with zeroing--the unit is quite repeatable.
