I have a similar setup. Here's what's weird. The barometric pressure is also from the display unit (I'm pretty sure) and it's dropping out too.
Can you check to see what's in your database? Is the problem in the display or in recording the data? Are you getting any error messages in the log? I don't think switching settings is going to help, but I don't know. Lithium batteries used to be 1.3 volts vs 1.5 volts for alkaline. I don't know if yours are that way. It might even be worse than nominal voltage when it's cold.
