Question: What type of batteries does it use.  It lists some number for the battery type.  Are they special batteries?
Document: This thing is actually pretty ok. I just take the batteries out in between each time I use it since everyone seems to be having issues with battery life. It seems to be working so far.
I will need to do some checking with other batteries to see if this is indeed the case (or it was a battery issue). One would expect that alkalines would last a long time in this, even with regular use, since they are only there to run the electronics. Not worth docking a star for. It's a great scale.
Worked for a while and then just stopped. Replaced the 5 dollars worth of camera type batteries, and it's still dead.
Love the Scales until the battery went dead. Got new batteries and have flipped the batteries all kinds of ways and steel can not get them to work.Could someone please tell me how to put the batteries in. Thank you.
with this scale. It also defaults to kg which is annoying. When you push for pounds sometimes it goes a little crazy. The battery thing really chapped me though as they died after 4 or 5 times using the scale. They are not standard CR2020's either, the batteries that came in the unit seem to be a little fatter ???
It works, but the battery door is a bit finicky. It's nice and heavy since it has a steel body. Wish the hook could be removed and replaced with a bigger one. The chinese batteries lasted all of 1 hr maybe? You will want new batteries most likely. But, the unit functions great, is very precise and for the price, you can't beat it!
Spent batteries very fast, the battery cover is loose and makes the equipment fails, the hook is too small to hold and to take the weight of something must be done between two people to see what the screen is showing. the product is theAmerican Weigh Scale American Weigh H-110 Digital Hanging Scale, 110 X 0.05-Pounds
Works great for my purpose which is weighing grain. It's easy to use and comes with a battery so you just have to turn it and it's ready to go. It's small and easy to carry around in a pocket. Very handy.
So when I ordered this new version, I was happy to see the design change to the battery cover fixed that problem. But now the scale is even more temperamental than before, very slow to register a weight or lack of one, and has trouble maintaining the tare. I am searching or a replacement that is durable enough for daily barn use, accurate, and able to be maintained (battery changing issue...).
Also, make sure you have it set to Kg/Lbs appropriately! It is easy to bump it to the wrong type of weight.Otherwise it works just fine.
Answer: It should come with the batteries, but they are the button type. Look like a nickel or quarter. They are commonly found at your Wal-Mart, RadioShack or grocery stores.
