Prior ones at HF years ago did not time out and you had to turn off
You type faster than I do. :thumbsup:

Yes, always turn it off after use. The 6" Starrett that the HF was compared to had auto shutoff after 1 minute of non-use as I recall.
Have a project coming up that I will use the DC a lot. Will leave a new battery installed, shut off judiciously and see what happens. Maybe first battery was just a dud. Original battery was not installed when I bought it.

What kind of grease do you use in the grinder
You can buy those button batteries dirt cheap off eBay. Look for a LR44 battery.I have two of the HF calipers. They are auto shutoff, and each came with one battery installed plus a spare, but so far in several years of occasional use on the older one, it is still on the original battery. I think you just got one bad battery, or maybe your auto-shutoff isn't working right.
