Mine died a little over 3 years after purchase; I changed the batteries but it would not work any more. Is this normal, a standard longevity?

I don't know the answer to your question, and I'm sorry to hear of your troubles with this product. But one of the reasons I choose to purchase this scale was because the other feedback talked about how responsive the manufacturer is to any issues customers have had. Have you contacted them? I would hope they would resolve this with you and replace the scale. Whatever they do, I hope you post their response on the reviews for this product. Good luck!

I have only had mine for a few months, so cannot answer your 3 year question. At this point in time, I LOVE my scale!!

I have yet to replace mine. And I've had teh unit for a number of years now. I suppose the battery life will depend how heavily it is used. Mine is moderately used.

To me, it lasts at least as the original when it was new and maybe longer. It is really hard to tell without all parameters being equal in a head on replicated test which of course i have not done. Under my normal use I am getting through the day every day and still have about 50% of the charge left, where as my old battery that was greatly reduced in its ability to function correctly was often not getting me through the day and in some instances dying during the morning hours. In the older batteries younger life it did last all day and I would then again charge it overnight.

My first battery lasted 3 years. I kept it in the basement during the winter and charged it every month. But when using it during the summer, I sometimes forgot to disconnect the charger the next day. This didn't happen a lot - maybe only 2 or 3 times a year. I didn't start to notice any problem until the end of the third year. I bought a new battery last spring. I've been more careful with this one and have always removed the charger within a few hours after the light turns green. This battery is still working very well, but it's too soon to know whether it will last more than 3 years.

Another user said 3 years. This is certainly not the case. Mine quit working after 2 years, and they would not replace it. After doing some research, I found out that this mouse dies around the 2 year mark for almost everyone. I would definitely NOT purchase this mouse.

I had mine like 3 years ago and I don't remember having any issues with the battery.

Standard battery in some of my computers of this model failed after one year of use. I strongly recommend replacing standard battery with a bigger capacity one. Several bigger capacity batteries for this model are available on the market.

Still didn't have to repair or replace parts so I don't know. Considering that I have been using mine since October 2013 with no problems, I think buying a new one if it breaks would not be such a big issue considering the price of $74,18. I think placing it properly and checking the batteries after a couple of months for corrosion will help it last.

If you put new batteries in it and then turned it back on and the screen will not come off all the bars or the screen doesn't even come up after new batteries, its dead. I've had one that lasted 5 years and another 6 months. Its basically a cheap electric device not meant to last forever. I just buy a new one and move on. They are great though. Love it in the kitchen!

Like the others said I guess it's in the item specs. To be honest I've never had to replace them or anything. I have two of these and one has been going for a few years. Admittedly they only get used on occasion but the batteries have held up.

I have had mine about six months of very light usage and the battery is dying as well; however, since I don't know how long it was in the package before I bought it I can't yet speak to expectancy.

Mine is 3 1/2 years old and still on the original batteries. If/when they die it will already be out of warranty period so I will at least replace the batteries. If they don't work, nothing lost. I like it so much I'm considering buying another in case Logitech drops it from their line up. Which I thiunk is possible since they don't show support above Windows 7. Anybody using this with Windows 8???

I'm thinking it's a bad unit. Ours works fine. Have used it for 4 1/2 months and haven't changed the battery once.

I like to replace SLA batteries after about three years of service. I've had a few that have still been spry up to about five years of use, but most of them start to drop off in capacity and run time before that. - Greg

mine is all good since 2 years and isn't dead . Last 2 hours on power savor mode . the capacity is better than the original battery that the laptop came with which didn't last for 1 year and half .

I've owned two units...the first unit died after about 2.5 years and the other is on year three without any issues. Advice, don't turn up the temperature to it's highest setting....back it off and set it lower. The unit will last longer.
