Battery Life: Has anyone else that has this scale had this problem?

I got two in a row and they worked well for a minute and then died. I thought something was wrong with it, but I guess it may be the batteries...that is ridiculous. We only used it like 3 times.

Sylvia, I see you received some yes and some no answers. The scale that I received automatically turns off 60 seconds after the last operation. The scale works great. Jim W

I had that problem with one of our first scales. I called service had to eave a message. They called me back several times but we kept missing each other. In the mean time we stopped storing the scale on its side and the scales stopped displaying the error message. I have not had this probelm with the other 11 we have purchased. I hope that helps. If not call service, they are helpful.

You must be very careful when you change the battery not to turn the scale upside down and press down. I read this in one of the reviews before I bought my scale. I don't know how to fix the problem.

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!

I bought this scale January 2010 and it worked wonderfully until 2 weeks ago. Now I can't get it to register. I have replaced the battery and wiggled the pads on the bottom. Any suggestions?

It sounds like the scale needs to calibrate itself. when you first got it, did you step onto the scale to activate it and then off to get it to weigh 0 pounds? If not, you could try that.

What do you mean by broken; could it be dead batteries, and were you weighing people on a hard surface as the instructions specify?If the batteries are new, but you had the scale on carpeting, while weighing, the readings will be wrong and you will damage the scale'sinternal mechanisms. It's a pity because my scale works great after several years. I never read the warranty, but another says 1 year.

I have had the scale for over 2 years and still not changed the batteries. So, a long time :) I sometimes use it everyday and sometimes once a week, depends on my mood.

Hello Pavan. I understand you are experiencing difficulties with your product. Perhaps there is a reason for the fluctuation. Have you placed the scale on a steady surface, free of movement and/or vibration? For further assistance, you can contact me directly via email [esty@measupro.com] or telephone [855-797-2253]. Kind regards, Esty Smart Weigh Scales

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 have not noticed a battery drainage problem on either the phone or the scale

There is a little pull tab on the back of the scale. If that doesn't start it up then replace the batteries. To power on each time you have to tap on it.

I have that problem, too. Imagine changing the battery might help. Haven't tried it yet, since I don't really need it.

Mine is always 4 pounds off and I don't know how to fix it. It zeros itself each time I use it , but then is 4 pounds off one way or the other. I think it is just a bad scale. I am going to get a different scale from a different company. Sorry I couldn't help.

Your scale says hi? weird. There is several reasons a scale does that. One being too much weight, two someone programed it that way (my bro did that to me before), or three the batteries are dying.

Batterylife is good. I use my scale for four month now. I check my weight once a day.Remaining battery is 87%.
