Will this hold Zero if I remove the batteries and store it for a year or 10?

Mine did..Had batteries out for a month or so and it hit the same the next time out.

Yes, I remove the batteries to avoid corrosion each year and it's always on point.

Yes but I would highly suggest not to purchase this item. It did not hold a zero for me

Yes. They last a few years depending on location.Hot or very cold attic they may not last as long. I think it's printed on the battery as a good until date. I change all of mine at the same date which I write on each battery so I know when they went in service.

No. If you remove the batteries you will lose all of your settings. Just walk, and each day it resets itself at 12:01 AM, and everyday automatically. But READ your booklet it will give you all of the details that you need.

Im in MA. I store my batteries in an unheated garage for several years since ive bought it....no issues thus far. But i agree that they are so small....so if you are worried, just bring them into the house when it gets really cold.

No. But you can take the batteries out and flip them over to store them without draining power.

I can't say for sure but I use it here and there and I haven't had to put batteries since I bought it almost 4 months ago.

Thank you for your inquiry. This item contains an internal memory that will store your information, even if the batteries die. If you need further assistance, please let me know. Thank you.

Yes , after about 10 minutes. 9 volt battery lasts over a year. It is a very accurate angle cube.

I don't expect to ever have to worry about the battery. These type of batteries last through thousands of charge cycles so if it fails in 10 years I will just buy a new one.

It maintains the min & max until you clear it (reset) You could keep it for a year if you like - - I now have 3 of these & they all work great & are quite accurate as far as I can tell.

The information says its a "lifetime" battery if I remember correctly. I figure even if I replace it in every 7 or 8 years for my own sanity, then I've still gotten my money's worth in savings on 9V batteries!

I doubt it will ruin the batteries unless you store them in the cold, however cold batteries will have a lower performance. But these heat up pretty good when operating so I am not sure if it would be observable.

I put mine in the butter drawer on my refrigerator, I read this about saving other type of batteries. No scientific evidence to prove if this works or not, but I haven't noticed any degradation in quality by doing this.

the "10" as first digits means manufactured in 2010. Realistic life expectancy of battery is 8.5 years. You should buy only ones with with "13" or "14" and not a "10"

Ive never tried to reset it because I haven't needed to. It goes back to zero the minute you take the item off the scale. It comes with a cord to plug in to use and it comes with batteries.
