If you use a soft shutter release or if anything in the case can press the shutter release, leaving the film advanced and the camera "on" will surely drain your batteries and does not need repair. The best way is to leave it unwound if you practice you can draw the camera and wind on the way to your eye. I doubt you'll ever miss a shot because the camera wasn't wound.
IMHO Have a great day!
 
I'm finding it harder to find lithium batteries, which last longer than silver oxide....

Consider buying from an internet source. The battery in the link below is packaged by Radio Shack and sold at retail for USD4.99. It is an excellent battery priced reasonably at USD2.54, buy a few and you will never have to worry about running out of batteries again!
