It was working perfectly for the first days but now it shows a different (and wrong) weight every time. Is a problem of battery?

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 :)

Mine is on a level tile floor. If yours is on carpet or an uneven surface, that might account for the inconsistent readings. The CR2203 batteries are inexpensive so installing a fresh one to eliminate that possibility is a good idea.

Um... I'm not sure really. It could be the battery or maybe the surface the scale is on. I have mine on a wood floor and it reads out consistent and accurate weight reedings.

I had a problem with my first one as well. Contact amazon and they will return it. I bought a second one and its working fine. Hopefully this company makes a stronger one soon. It works great. Just flimsy.

I have two of the PW100's and have not had the problem. It is really a simple device. Your battery may not be able to hold a charge or its not able to take a charge. There are two micro-switches and one of these could be bad. You need to make sure the lid is down and latched. The owners manual has a exploded picture of the device. I would contact Suncast, they are very helpful.

It appears to use a small lithium battery that is replaced by removing a small screw and the cover. As for battery life, as with most items the battery life is going to be dependant on how many people use it and how often! I was using it daily for the past three months but now I'm home and won't use it till I travel again. So my battery has lasted three months so far! That's 90 days weighing twice to check accuracy! So at least 180 weigh-ins. If you only weigh once a week that would be the equivalent of over 3.5 years! So I think battery life is really difficult to nail down.

It might be defective and has to be exchanged. I purchased the same battery more than 6 months ago and I had no problems with it so far. I traveled a lot with my netbook and it would provide me at least 4-5 h of work from one charge every time.

as someone who works on computers what I can say that I doubt that your battery is the cause a problem.I have had no problems at all with my computer since I got the new battery.

I think its the scale bcuz suddenly it says one thing and the next week its way higher than its back to a lower number i bought this scale months ago it didnt give me a problem until recently i even changed the battery in hopes it would function more accurately but it remains the same it gives me three different readings so im now in search of another scale

I have no problems with mine. I installed it 5 months ago - working perfectly. Make sure you follow the directions on the printed insert to cycle the battery before use. REMEMBER - the battery HAS TO BE CYCLED 4 to 6 times... that means FULLY charge the battery 10 hours and fully discharge it so the computer shuts down. Do this 4 or 5 times - this will make sure it reach full capacity. find out more here... http://www.laptopbattery1.com

I would make sure the lb/kg selector switch is firmly in one position or the other. The make sure the battery is installed in the proper position. Then examine the feet for damage (are they cracked). If that doesn't do it then I'd contact the company directly. They might be slow to respond but they did satisfy my complaint when my scale broke.

I had the same problem. New batteries did not make any difference. I sent it back to amazon and got my money back. Don't know why they keep selling these, I posted the problems I had with it months ago. I guess Amazon doesn't care. If someone sends it back they refund the money, but many don't send them back and amazon is ahead. George Jensen

You didn´t reset it properly.....do ti again and make sure that batteries are OK, with charge...best regards

I answered this incorrectly before. It seems when the scale is moved it does need to be re-calibrated so to speak. It won't be accurate at first weigh, but get on it again and it will weigh correctly.

Mine is still working well, however, I just use it occasionally. If you are sure that your batteries are good, I have no idea what's wrong with it. You can try contacting their customer service.

Contact the company, obviously it's something wrong with the bob it itself. why did you have to change the batteries on a new one anyway? The batteries should have been good. I would think something was defective if it didn't work in the first place. Contact the company.

Don't know why your battery is dead. My wife and I use the scale almost every day. Our battery is still going strong without any problems.

Yeah man I noticed that too but not consistently. So sometimes it was like 95%. I just checked it and now it is at 99%. I don't know but I suspect a software feedback problem where it "thinks" it is isn't charged. I just can't imagine that many people have batteries that physically "refuse" to be charged to 100 percent, that'd just be too weird. Still, I love this machine. Did you have any other problems? So far mine has worked like a dream.

Check that the batteries are in correctly - my scale seemed a little different than most battery operated gadgets - the second battery doesn't install opposite direction from the first. If they're ok, try putting in fresh batteries.
