does a battery come with this scale

I believe so, however it burns through batteries quickly and requires 4!I have stopped using this scale completely, even though it is very pretty. I just got tired of replacing batteries.My new scale is Cuisinart® PrecisionChef™ Kitchen Scale with Stainless Steel Bowl. They sell it at Bed Bath & Beyond. Under the removable steel bowl is a glass platform. It looks pretty sharp. I have had it for 2 months and so far so good.

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

On the underside of the scale you will find the compartment door for the battery. Usually there is a clear piece of plastic that has to be removed from around the battery in order for the scale to function.

Lithium CR2032X (1pcs) You'll have to look online as to where to purchase it but the scale comes with the battery installed if you are thinking you need one immediately.

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

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.

Yes it does. It's located in the front and it's a small dial. You occasionally will have to "zero " the scale out for accuracy.

No it doesn't come with a weight for calibration. I use a US coin to help me calibrate. You really don't need one for this scale.

Was a 9volt battery. But, I didn't even bother with installing the battery to test the scale. One important reason I chose this scale was because of having the adapter and I testedthe scale only using the adapter. Had the scale worked properly, I would have kept it.

I think that depends on how often the scale is used and how good the batteries are. The scale comes with the initial batteries needed.

No it doesn't come with a battery, I suggest a LiPo like sold here http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00713WUF2

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.

No, it doesn't come with the battery. It just gives the battery information in order for you to know which batteries it works with

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.

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?

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!

it does have a rechargeable battery. I take this scale to Farmers Markets.. does not do well in the sunlight, can't read the display, but ok for "shady" spots.
