I think they will be OK, the vice is pretty heavy, calipers are fixed on 3mm aluminium plates.. I didn't notice any display errors during drilling.
If this prove to be the problem, second set of two metal calipers is already on its way here ($5-$10).
Actually, in the beginning I was planning to use the metal variety, but I placed the wrong order on ebay for those plastic ones.. and apparently they proved to be quite OK for the purpose
As for the batteries, once they are flat, I will use external power supply.
