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

@frankenbike @mmccarthy This is a good point about rechargeable batteries and I will have a look into it, thanks - I've honestly never thought about it as an option somehow. When I've worked as a baker before I've really rated the corded scales that have an internal battery in case of power failure during weighing, so you can always run them no matter what's happening or whether or not you have batteries to hand - and because I always use my coffee scales in exactly the same spot each morning I always think, why aren't kitchen scales you can plug into a wall more of a thing?

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.
