I've had 2 older Ecometers and 2 new ones and they all drain down the battery the same. I think Autometer fibbed when they said they fixed the problem. Perhaps you might luck out and get a new one that doesn't draw down the battery. It usually takes 3 to 4 months of driving to kill a battery with the old and new units I've had. If you can remember to unplug them or install a kill switch when parked then it will probably be OK. It says right on the box "IN THE USA BY SKILLED CRAFTSMEN". The printer made a mistake and left off the first word "MADE". Obviously Autometer was aware of this little slip up but they probably said "who gives a sh--". This half assed mentality is why American manufacturers are plagued with so many shoddy half hearted products like this thing. If it were me I wouldn't gamble on these cheapo gauges. I haven't heard anything bad about the Scangauge ll other than they're spendy. After you replace a couple of car batteries killed by your cheapo Ecometer the Scangauge ll starts to look like the real bargain.
