I have two HSLS100+ and one of them was draining the battery a percent or more per day. HS was fantastic about replacing (both of us assuming a bad unit). I received the replacement unit and it behaved the same. One was using the remote sensor (on the second floor) and the "bad" unit was placed directly on the cement basement floor. I wondered about a drain to ground with a, relatively, low potential to ground. Moved the basement sensor to the remote pad and battery drain has stopped and even recovered some.

That's very interesting! I do not have any of the HS flood sensors, but I noticed my two Fibaro flood sensors drained quite quick. I actually connected an external power supply to the sensor to avoid changing batteries every 4-6 months. I will give this a try, Thanks!

Maybe soon, we won't even need the battery.
