I guess it has a battery. It began working right away. You have to tap it - let it display a zero then step on it. Very accurate scale - looks good too!

It definitely is powered by a battery but I do not recall if it came with one. I seem to think it requires a 9v. Sorry that I could not be sure.

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.

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!

Yes the battery is included. Please be aware that this is great for small jobs. It is perfect for me to tidy up the patio or front porch in between my husband's yard maintenance. If you have a big yard or heavy blowing to do, you will need a bigger model.

I just purchased one. The design is sleek, delivery was punctual. I like that you need only to step on it and the weight is displayed immediately. No zeroing, waiting, or resetting. I can't speak to how long it will last since I just received it. It only needs (1) 2032 battery. My previous scale required (2).

It has one of those ordinary CR 2032 lithium batteries. I've had the scale a few months now, and the battery it came with has not yet run down. Hope that helps.

it does have a rechargeable battery. I take this scale to Farmers Markets.. does not do well in the sunlight, can't read the display, but ok for "shady" spots.

NO batteries needed. I didn't put batteries in mine when I received it, but I just now opened it up and it had factory-supplied batteries. So, I took them out, then turned on the scale (AC adapter only), and it worked just fine.

No, it requires a special 12 volt battery which costs about $4.00. A battery is included with the unit though

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)

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.

Yes, it came with a carry case and I think a battery was included but I'm not sure.

Everything you need for the scale to operate is included. There is no need to purchase anything else.

On the underside of the scale you will find the compartment door for the battery. Usually there is a clear piece of plastic that has to be removed from around the battery in order for the scale to function.

Hello Joel, Unfortunately, it doesn't give us an approximate battery life for the scale. The batteries you would need to use are CR-2032 batteries. A pack of 2 is sold on our website for $2.04. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thank you. Have a great day.

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).

One of those little flat batteries like a watch battery only bigger. I thought mine was dead once but I took it out, wet it, and put it back in and it was fine. Since then, I've noticed that if the scale is not used for a while, it kind of "shuts down," and you have to step on it a couple of times to "wake it up." That's a good thing, because the battery is not being used up. Btw, it totally agrees with the scale at my gym, so I'm very happy with it. And takes up very little room in my tiny bathroom.
