I agree with Atilla from what I have seen. Its actually somewhat difficult
to measure this level of current. But all is not lost. Even if the unit is
drawing 1-10ua because something is going wrong. Simply add a battery
holder and 2 X AAA or AA or ...
Whatever it takes to keep the unit going.
If you mount the batteries externally you can easily replace them and check
the discharge rate.
Its a way around the problem if you simply can not get a replacement or its
totally embedded on the board.
Best of luck
