I've found that removing the battery after use is the best way. Tedious I know.

Mitutoyo. Go 200mm so you have extra hand grip when using a comparator. Mine are awesome. No battery issues

Not quite as outlandish as hunting with a 35 Whelen in NZ, perhaps ?

Now that's fighting talk Outlander.
My son had a .358 Win for a while and found it perfectly adequate for rabbits plus the occasional larger animal. It's place has now been taken by a .350 Remington Magnum which has been adequate for everything it has been tried on to date.

I had a .356 Win for a while, came to NZ as a .307 by mistake...

He was just lucky. The 358 Win cartridge is not normally considered adequate for adult rabbits. Perhaps they were suffering from a recent 1080 drop.
