Their whole “battery idea” was a very bad strategy. In what right mind would you even consider removing power capabilities to include only battery options, and give consumers the hassle of having to turn the unit on at different locations. Imagine having guests coming to see your collection, and you have (15) 1:2 scales with battery option only. You’d be dicking around with the statues for at least half an hour to turn them all on carefully, and then have to come back again to spend another 30 minutes turning these off instead of pressing one single off switch. Now imagine having casing on these as well.
