Is anyone else having their Scale S chew through batteries? The batteries in the first Scale S I got lasted 2 weeks so I replaced them with new batteries. Those lasted a week. It seemed like that life was shorter than advertised so I contacted Wyze Support and after troubleshooting it, they sent …

Yup. Mine started normal. Then reduced to 3 months, then one month, then one week roughly. Looking to get an adapter to plug into outlet and give up on batteries.

I have the same problem with our scale. It didn’t seem that bad at first, but now it’s really bad. The other issue/recommendation is, why using AAA batteries on something that big? AA would definitely have been better.

I’m alway amazed when any product uses AAA batteries, when they could have easily used AA batteries for a longer run time. Remember when C and especially D batteries were the norm? There is a reason why D batteries were used to frequently, because they lasted the longest due to their size.

Same issue here. My batteries last 3-5 days now. The first batch lasted several months.

I used to have good battery life even with rechargeables, but even using duracells I burn through these in a week. There must be something that changed in the app that is keeping the scale awake? Replacing batteries weekly is not acceptable.

Same issue with me and Wyze help was really of no help. Clearly there is an issue with the scale chewing through batteries. Wonder if there is a setting that completely shuts off the scale when not in use? Bob

Any resolution on this? I just noticed this same behavior We went though a bathroom remodel so I did not think much of it. Now I am replacing batteries almost weekly.
