Does this scale eat a lot of batteries like the previous Ozeri Touch version? How many batteries does it need per months?

I've been using it every day for 3 months and the battery just died. That seems fast to me!

I've been using this scale pretty much non stop for 2 months and have not had to replace batteries yet.

I do not know what your problem would be, as I have not replaced the batteries in mine since I bought it and that has been since April 26 of this year. I do not get on the scale every day though, if you are doing that, maybe that is why the batteries are being used up. Or it may be the type of batteries you are using. Check with Radio Shack to find out the best batteries you can get, or get the rechargeable batteries, it is expensive at first, but in the long run, it would be cheaper.

mine lasted about 2 weeks. (I logged on to see if they were just short term ones for demo purposes and see that other people were luckier) Hope it is the batteries and not the scale b/c I liked it while it lasted. (will get some new ones and try that)

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.

I've been using the original for a little over two years now. This is actually my second one (the first got accidentally put in the washing machine). I'm definitely looking at upgrading to the Ultra real soon and also getting one for my wife. I've also pre-ordered the Fitbit Aria Smart Scale that is due out in April. Check that item out on their website.

We've been using our scale (probably 6 times per day) for only about a month, but there is no sign or battery wear. The battery appears to be running strong. I would imagine that it will last for quite an extended amount of time since it's using relatively low voltage for each use. We've had bathroom scales that run on 9V batteries that last a year or longer. Not comparatively the same product or frequency of use, but it still gives me an expectation that the battery in our kitchen scale should hold up well.

I just purchased one. The design is sleek, delivery was punctual. I like that you need only to step on it and the weight is displayed immediately. No zeroing, waiting, or resetting. I can't speak to how long it will last since I just received it. It only needs (1) 2032 battery. My previous scale required (2).

One of those little flat batteries like a watch battery only bigger. I thought mine was dead once but I took it out, wet it, and put it back in and it was fine. Since then, I've noticed that if the scale is not used for a while, it kind of "shuts down," and you have to step on it a couple of times to "wake it up." That's a good thing, because the battery is not being used up. Btw, it totally agrees with the scale at my gym, so I'm very happy with it. And takes up very little room in my tiny bathroom.

Two CR2032. These are fairly common button-style batteries. I am not sure how long they will last. We have had ours a few months and the ones that came with the scale are still working fine.

It just goes through them quickly and they are the button cell batteries so they are more expensive. Great scale though. We used it daily for each meal and snacks. So maybe that is why we went through it quickly. However we got a new scale that takes double AA batteries and we use it just as much. However, we have not had to change them yet. By now we would have had to replace this scale twice. I really like this scale because it has the "mg" setting, but I just was sick of buying batteries.

I agree with the other answers. We use this for our farmers market and the battery will last days when charged. Such a great scale!

I cannot really answer your question, I just know that at times you get on the scale & it weighs you one thing, then step off & back on and it might give you an entirely different weight, then if you take your batteries out and put them back in it also might give you another weight. Sometimes I would think I wish I had gotten one of the old fashioned scales without batteries.

It uses one lithium battery. It is about the size of a nickel and came in the unit. If you are carb counting, this scale is ideal.

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.

There does seem to be a durability issue with this scale. After about a year and a half of daily use, the front buttons gave out and I can no longer switch from grams to ounces, or zero out the scale. I will be purchasing a different scale for a replacement.

I weigh once a day. I would say batteries last at least a year. Lrg EatRight, which is used maybe once a week, haven't changed batteries in two years.

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