what does 'non-standard' battery mean, i.e. what kind and how much does a replacement cost?

Hi, it takes a CR2032 button battery (only one at a time) which last a long time. You can pick them up on Amazon (Prime) for about $0.45 each (search Sony brand) if you buy a 20 pack for $8.99 (currently). Much better price than $5 - $6 each as suggested. Btw, I have two of these scales and they are well built and, most importantly, work.

it takes the round batteries like the one you used for the watches but bigger, around 5 or 6 dollars

I believe there is a part number on the battery, just Google and see what you can find thanks.

I had done a search for generic battery but came up with nothing. I didn't try battery stores however and that may be an option. You'd need to take the battery to the store for comparison.

I have no idea and amazon says you are not supposed to change the battery anyway.

Mine was labeled something else, but most brand name manufacturers contract out batteries and just slap their own sticker on it.What I can tell you the battery I got was a decent one, lasted about 3-4 hrs and worked with all power states and levels both windows and Linux. Just saying your results and mileage may vary, contact a professional if you get mileage or results longer than four hours

Their customer service is actually really good. They responded to my bad review and sent me a brand new battery to try and a shipping label to send the original one back. According to their Amazon profile, they follow the standard Amazon return policy but to be sure, call them directly: 1-800-988-7973

What they mean by "Nonstandard" is that you probably can't replace the battery. It's a lithium battery that is built in, so you can't simply go to the store and replace it.The battery is rated for 10 hours by Asus. That would probably translate to something like 8 hours for typical use. Results will vary depending how you are using it, brightness, wifi, GPS, etc....Also the optional keyboard dock has a battery in it that will add another 5 hours of use to it. Probably more like 4 in real world use though. So there could be potentially be a total of 12 hours or so if you get the keyboard dock too.

I also have a different model. I've already retired this battery due to errors and not holding a charge.

No.. it's a non standard battery. See the answers under the replacement battery unit for clarification.

This is a non-factory replacement battery and does not come with a charger.

You didn't say what kind of 'new' battery. I learned long ago, get lithium batteries. Cost more, but less aggrevation. Also, perhaps if recently wet, there's moisture in battery area.

How do I find out what is wrong with this battery? I did not know that you aren't supposed to use the regular battery tenders on these kind of batteries and I left it charging for a couple of days and now it is beyond dead. So if the tender didn't kill it, apparently (also read just now in the questions section) if it drops below 8% charge it is no longer anything but a paperweight? So tell me now if I should just go out and buy a new battery after wasting my money on the 1 ride I got out of this battery.

I am not the seller for this battery. I have purchased this battery once before in the past. I will be getting a larger battery as I already need to replace mine. Sorry I couldn't help much more than that!

The battery are included in the box and it isn't a normal rechargeable battery. It's like a cylinder that should be put in place instead of the standard battery.

If I remember correctly, I had a 30 day replacement. I would have to go back through my purchase information. I can tell you as of now, I have had no problem what so ever with this replacement battery
