I checked the 1-p. user manual that comes with the scale, and it says "Battery: 2xCR2032," which I assume means it takes two CR 2032 batteries. They're cheap and you can get them at Amazon; I checked, and found 'em at this url:

According to the manual for this scale (you can find the manual on the Taylor USA website), you can replace the battery. It's a 3 volt CR2032 lithium battery, which is a common size. Amazon carries several brands, and I have purchased these at local big box stores. Per the manual:1. Use a 3 volt CR2032 lithium battery (as installed). 2. Open the battery compartment cover on the bottom of the scale.3. Remove the battery from the battery compartment.4. Place the new battery with the "+" sign up into the battery compartment.5.

I looked at my old battery and it has no number on it, I saved it so I could take it into a store and get one like it. I also checked the info sheet that came with it and that was of no help either. Have you tried to ask the Spark people? Some one there should be able to tell you. As for the store to buy it.......I have had luck with buying batteries for my food scale at ACE Hardware. You might also try Walmart. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.......Good luck.

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

I would try to take the battery out then place it back in. I know for sure that the results I receive is accurate because after weighing myself for about a week, I went to the doctors and the scale read exactly the same. I do know that where you store your scale is also major. The bathroom is not good. The moisture and hot steam will disrupt it's normal function. I had one similar and the bathroom destroyed it. I hope this was helpful.

I guess it has a battery. It began working right away. You have to tap it - let it display a zero then step on it. Very accurate scale - looks good too!

Open box the battery was dead.I went to battery plus purcashed new battery for around $19.00. The scale works fine now.

I returned the scale when I bought it, because it didn't work at all. It said it runs on 2 CR2 batteries, so you could probably find some at a local big box retailer like Target or Home Depot, maybe even Amazon?

Sorry...I have no idea about that. If you google the scale number and model number, I'll bet you can download a PDF of the Owner's Manual.

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 :)

I have used my scale almost every day since it was delivered in September and have yet to replace the batteries. I imagine it is all down to time and usage, plus the auto-off after one minute of being idle certainly helps conserve battery power.

Its small round flat battery (3/4 inch diameter about the size of a quarter) that is supplied with the scale (not a typical AA or AAA type battery). We have had the scale for about a year and haven't had to replace it.

This scale came with the battery already put into it. When I looked, the battery looked like the flat, circular kind found in watches. I did not remove it to find the exact battery size.

This weight watchers scale runs on batteries. It only takes a 9 volt battery, and it just takes one 9 volt battery to power it. I know this, because I have this exact scale, & it is really accurate and precise. You will enjoy this scale.

Good afternoon, Donald. I called Taylor Customer Service upon receiving notification of your question needing to be answered so that I could assist you. Unfortunately, Taylor does not offer instruction manuals in an electronic format, and this scale is no exception. To assist further, I am going to detail the process in my review to assist those who cannot read the manual that comes with the product. To avoid having to scroll to find the review, here is a permalink:

most likely it is a locked system problem. you might need to get a replacement. I have had two different scales. one works great the other I sent back. If the previous suggestions of removing, waiting a few minutes and then reinstalling the battery might work. if not replace.

We just had to change the battery in ours. Now it's weighing 7 pounds lighter. Went to dr and yes theirs weighed what it read before the new battery.Surely u don't have to replace scale when battery goes out to get a true weight again???
