My meter on my Toro stays on and my battery went dead after two years so I'm thinking it drain the battery since it wasn't used during the winter months..

The hour meter battery is not charged by running the engine.
Do you use a battery tender? If you don't keep the battery charged, it will have a shorter life. Did you read the entire thread? There is a battery inside of the hour meter.

My ZT HD 48 has been on for 14 yrs now, never goes off, never increases without the machine being operated, or the key left in on position. Happened only once, early, first wk of ownership. Have used a battery monitor only past 2 yrs.,only during Winter down time. Will this avoid eventual need for newww timer unit?
Coin cells are usually lithium not silver. The better longest lasting coin cells are silver, you have to shop for silver if that is what you want. Many sizes are available either way.

Thanks for the pearls. So does 14 yrs of function and 756 hrs represent good lifespan or am I about to say goodbye to the timer?

It draws so little power it is of no concern. My Scag stays on all the time as well.
