Does this scale come calibrated? I also don't see the power source. Is it battery powered? And if so, what type of batteries dows it use?

The scales are digital. Calibrated. Weighs uo to 300kg. Battery power! 2 AAA Hope this helps.

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.

No does not require calibration. I compared with another scale and it was accurate.

Scale comes with 4 AAA Batteries. Life of batteries would depend on useage and how many family members use the scale. When batteries are low-LO appears on LCD. I just got my scale and have only used several times so far. When stepping on the scale weight will blink 2 times and final weight will be calculated. The screen onlystays lit for a 2-5 seconds and automatically turns off. Hopefully the batterieswill last for sometime. Hope this answers your question(s)

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:

The scale comes with a CR2032 battery installed ( just remove the insulating strip). A low battery indicator will come on when the battery needs replacing.

I had the same issue. I purchased the weights to properly calibrate but still nothing. In my honest opinion, this scale is trash. Sorry

I have had the scale for a while now and no battery issues. I don't use it every day.

No, you do not have to calibrate this scale. It work great just out of the box. I highly recommend it!

It gets it's power from the USB, but you can run it on 3 AAA batteries. Been rather disappointed with this scale. It does not hold zero, LCD is hard to see as it has no back light. Our old scale was much better and cost less too.

No. And it was calibrated right out of the box. Came with the necessary 4 batteries. I just inserted the batteries and it was all set to go. Well actually it was set for kilos, but all I had to do was press the button (between the batteries slots) twice and got pounds. Pressing once got me stones. Hope this helps.

Yes it can be re-calibrated if necessary. When I do it the scale asks for a 1000.0 g weight. I don't have any so I just check it with the smaller weight set I have. You can buy the weight on ebay for 17 USD or so. Wish they stated this in the product description. Good luck. Joe

I didn't buy the power cord for it, I use the scale very rarely. However you shouldn't have any trouble finding a power cord at your local Radio Shack. That's if you are lucky and run into someone that's somewhat knowledgeable.

Mine arrived perfectly ready to go. No calibration needed. Great scale. Works perfectly for my needs and looks sleek and modern.

I have only had it a couple of weeks - still going! The batteries come separately from the scale and you insert them yourself (they are AAA, I think).

Get the calibration weights. They are an absolute MUST with inexpensive scales. This one is pretty accurate. I reweighed the same mass 5 times and got the same reading each time.
