Four AAA batteries come included. That should be on the product page, thanks! I'll add it now.

The scale comes with the software. Because I use a Mac, then I downloaded a widget that can be used for the scale. If you are a Garmin user, you can also use the Garmin software to track your weight.

Your right: my battery didn't last so I went to wall mart and inserted new one. It is over all a great scale for the value and looks great. Scale is very easy to read as well cause I don't need my glasses :)

It will use 6 AA batteries. I have not heard of this scale eating through batteries, but unfortunately, I couldn't give you a battery lifetime. Thank you. Have a great day.

under the scale is a black tab. open it and pop the battery one. you probably need to stick a thin screwdriver under the battery to help pop it out

I have used my scale almost every day since it was delivered in September and have yet to replace the batteries. I imagine it is all down to time and usage, plus the auto-off after one minute of being idle certainly helps conserve battery power.

3" x 5" x .75". Scale comes with a weight that can be used to calibrate at any time.

Hello Love2Read, it does not come with the adapter but the manufacturer does make them. It isn't something I carry though. However, if it helps answer your needs though, I use one of these scales for shipping and I just use batteries in it...which seem to last.

as i remember there was a little plastic piece under the battery you had to take out. It keeps the new battery from running down during shipping etc. After you remove it, the scale should turn on.

no it comes with a battery and a charger so when your battery dead u just charge it up this scale is awsome

I purchased two digital baby scales at the same time, two different manufacturers. I don't know which this is, but one of them took common AAA batteries, and the other takes a very common button battery (2032) and both scales lasted half a year at least of frequent, daily use in my veterinary hospital. I was pleasantly surprised how long the battery lasts in both scales, and it worked great for weighing smaller (<15lbs) pets.

Have had no need yet to open the battery cover... but I would not recommend this scale. It takes several tries to get a stable weight reading.

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

Yes, the scale is portable with a detachable cord .It uses its own type of battery and this internal battery that can be detached and will hold charge.

Hi Patricia. I have this scale, and yes, it does need a 9 volt battery, and yes, it does come with a new 9 volt battery that you can easily install in the back of it.

Two CR2032. These are fairly common button-style batteries. I am not sure how long they will last. We have had ours a few months and the ones that came with the scale are still working fine.

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)
