Am I the only buyer of this scale that runs through AAA batteries in 6 weeks and has a non-working scale in 2 years?? New batteries indicate 'LO'

I havne't had to replace my batteries once and I've had my scale for 2-3 years. However, my scale only gets occasional use.

I wouldn't know about running through batteries Mine didn't last to the 6 week mark. :(

I've had my scale for a few years and have replaced the batteries once, and I use this daily.

I've had it for a while (probably a year at least) and haven't had to replace the batteries yet. I use it about 5x a week to measure rice, so it's not just sitting on the shelf

The scale comes with a CR2032 battery installed ( just remove the insulating strip). A low battery indicator will come on when the battery needs replacing.

most likely it is a locked system problem. you might need to get a replacement. I have had two different scales. one works great the other I sent back. If the previous suggestions of removing, waiting a few minutes and then reinstalling the battery might work. if not replace.

We purchased this scale almost two years ago. It's used approximately 3-5 times a week. We haven't replaced the batteries yet.

I wish.....always seems to shut down just when you go to use it again....if you find out how to disable it let me know please. Besides that it's a great little scale.

Hey Joseph. I still have my scale and it works great. No problems. It has a 2 yr Manufacturers warranty. Here is their new website. http://www.affordablescales.com/industrial-scales/shipping-scales/. Also I think the company sold to another company. They had some good videos on the scale. I found them on youtube. Just search "LSS shipping scale." Good luck.

I have the same problem. The only way to get around this that I know of, is to first step on the scale, wait for the reading. Then step off and wait for It to reset, or It says ready. Then step on again and It should be correct. For some reason It is off by 4 or 5 pounds, the first time you use It after auto shutoff. I wonder If the manufacturer knows this ?

Scale comes with 4 AAA Batteries. Life of batteries would depend on useage and how many family members use the scale. When batteries are low-LO appears on LCD. I just got my scale and have only used several times so far. When stepping on the scale weight will blink 2 times and final weight will be calculated. The screen onlystays lit for a 2-5 seconds and automatically turns off. Hopefully the batterieswill last for sometime. Hope this answers your question(s)

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.

I have to take the batteries out after each use, or they will run out. Seems that the scale uses them even when not in use.

I have not had this problem with this scale, check batteries and I would ask if you are sure you are on the lb and ounce measurement setting not grams, etc. Also if it had any water poured on it accidentally I had to replace previous scale after I spilled liquid on it.

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 have been using my scale plugged in. So I tried with a 9 volt battery and it worked fine. Try a new battery. I tried it with the plug attached and not. Worked either way for me. Good luck!

I don't understand why mine shattered/exploded. Never heard of this happening to anyone else. Perhaps mine was defective. Only had it 18 months. I loved the scale while it lasted.

We just had to change the battery in ours. Now it's weighing 7 pounds lighter. Went to dr and yes theirs weighed what it read before the new battery.Surely u don't have to replace scale when battery goes out to get a true weight again???

Well, this unit is just bad. Send it back, have another one sent out. I've had mine at least 3 years, maybe more and I use it for all things with batteries. It's been a good unit, your unit is just bad.

I have only had it a couple of weeks - still going! The batteries come separately from the scale and you insert them yourself (they are AAA, I think).
