OM-4 production started with 1,000,000 (there are a few super rare OM-4s
with serial numbers below that) You should assume all 4s have the high
drain, eliminate them one at a time by doing the "battery check" test. Turn
battery check on, if it turns off by itself in 30 seconds, it means the
camera had been upgraded to a low-drain 4T board.

Subject: [OM] OM4 batt.drain serial nos.
Hi all, I think I read somewhere that the OM4 battery drain problem was
fixed some way through the OM4 series. Does anyone know from what serial
number on? Unlikely that mine was in the fixed second half of the series
(serial no 1085981), but let me know if you do know. Just bought it a
couple of months back, here in Oxford, UK. Really pleased to have taken
photos I couldn't or dare not take before. The spotmetering has been
tremendous. Cheers, happy new year and good snapping to you fellow
olympians.
Also a happy owner of half framers Pen EES (£8, charity shop) and Pen FT
(£198, treated myself), both of which have taken nice pictures.
