  • Is there a strong reason for not using rechargeable AA/AAA batteries vs USB-charged internal batteries? Would give you a fair bit more choice

  • just deeply dislike having to think about replacing batteries when I could have something I can always just plug in. Have always hated it on my kitchen scales. But I mean I'm also open to suggestions if there's something you really reckon I should consider.

  • With rechargeable batteries you can recycle them when they die and continue using the scales. With a built in battery you'll have to throw the whole thing away and buy a new one, unless you can take it apart and find a replacement. Solution in search of a problem really

  • That's fair enough, I must have around 40 or so rechargeable AA/AAA batteries around the house so it's pretty easy to add another 1 or 2 for some scales, but I get the desire for simplicity (just bought a USB-rechargeable 9V battery actually, what a time to be alive!). I normally stick with the very basic 'jewellers scales' for 1 cup pour-overs (and espresso) and my regular kitchen scales for anything bigger so no standout recommendations from me to be honest.

    Have heard good things about the Black Mirror recommended there though ^
