What type of scale do you recommend?

[saltyfishscales]

Im in the market for a scale, and there's so many out there. One thing that has crossed my mind on the digital scales, is battery replacement. I don't want to worry about the battery going out when I need it most, but at the same time if it's more accurate than the spring scales I guess I have no choice. Any suggestions?

I like this one...its what I have

but given the choice, I'd go back and buy a lip gripper with a scale like this one

because its much more versatile

Thanks, I was considering the Berkley too. I'll check those out.

Most scales have long lasting batteries, don't know what they are called but almost like watch batteries. I've had mine for years (bps model) and have never had to replace the battery.
