How long should battery last? I've owned scale for 9 months and it gets very little use. Battery is already dead.

Don't know why your battery is dead. My wife and I use the scale almost every day. Our battery is still going strong without any problems.

My battery has lasted a long time. Don't know exactly how long but a lot longer than 9 months. Maybe you just had a bad battery.

Ours is going into the third year with pretty regular use. Be sure you select only an alkaline battery or the new Quantum series by Duracell, with an expiry date quite a ways out.

You might try rebooting the unit by taking out the batteries for a few minutes and then re-inserting. Be sure to re-zero the scale afterwards (and any time after you move it), and that it's on a hard surface (not carpet, for example).

I have used my scale daily for approximately two months and the original batteries are still being used. They are going strong, so I can't really answer this question. I have found with two previous scales that the original batteries last much longer than the ones I use to replace.

I really don't know. I have only had the scale with the batteries that came with it since February this year.

I can't help answer ur question. I do not know how old ur scale is but I had problems and the company replaced with out a hassle. My advice is to contact them. Their warranty is good for at least two years.

Wow that is strange. You could change the batteries but I don't know why after 2 months the batteries would be dead. I've used mine for 3 months now and use it regularly. You can try the battery approach but I am thinking there may be a problem with that actual gauge.

Was a 9volt battery. But, I didn't even bother with installing the battery to test the scale. One important reason I chose this scale was because of having the adapter and I testedthe scale only using the adapter. Had the scale worked properly, I would have kept it.

Donna: I've had a similar one for 5 years, and the battery lasts over a year even though the display is always up. Think of it this way, if the display gets dim or isn't there, you know when to replace the battery.

I'm not sure yet. I've had the scale almost 3 months and it's still going strong. Since it has an LED screen I imagine it would use up batteries a little faster than your average scale, but all other scales I've had have lasted years without the batteries dying. My kids love the light on the scale so they jump, play, and otherwise abuse it. Nothing has phased it so far. I'm still happy with it!

I don't know... but for 10 bucks what do you want? lol... anyway, only thing was when it needed new batteries last week, the numbers on the scale weren't holding steady. Would I buy it again? For $10. you can't go wrong. Get it..u won't be sorry....warranty or not.

I have two of these scales and love them both. Have not had a problem. You have a defective product and should request a new one.

My scale has worked flawlessly. Make sure there is no stress (e.g., pulling to one side) on the power plug that goes into the scale. Also make sure that the plug is fully seated.

It took mine about three months but then the battery suddenly died on me. I found that odd since I step on it for thirty seconds once a day, you would think the battery would last a lot longer than it did. I thought it was just mine, good to note that the battery thing wasn't just me.

I rarely just step on it. If it happens to be down and the screen is not on I will tap it with my foot on top of the glass wait for it to settle to zero then stand on it for my measurement.if that dont work isvthere fresh batteries in it? New in the scale package dont mean fresh

The same happened to me! I returned it directly to the manufacture if you're still on time to return it DO IT!! and buy a different scale! Hope my advice helps you! GL

I had to replace the battery that came with it, apparently it was dead, but mine still doesn't display the bottom portion of the numbers. Just not a good scale is what I came up with!

Mine is always 4 pounds off and I don't know how to fix it. It zeros itself each time I use it , but then is 4 pounds off one way or the other. I think it is just a bad scale. I am going to get a different scale from a different company. Sorry I couldn't help.
