On a HoMedics Electronic lithium battery scale, the screen has gone dead and doesn't display weight or anything at all. Battery is new. Can anything be done?

The HoMedics digital scale SC-300 uses a CR2032 lithium coin cell battery. This battery has a diameter of 20mm and a thickness of 3.2mm, which makes it a small, flat battery that can easily fit into the scale.

Here are the Instructions for SC300:

Page 2 says the scales require a 3 volt CR2032 lithium battery. These can probably be found wherever batteries are sold - WalMart, Target, etc.

Maybe the battery needs replacing its what happened with mine I replaced battery and its been working fine ever since.? 1 CR2032 lithium battery .

little confusion about your question

The lithium battery is a 3-Volt CR2032. The manual for the scale is available here: http://www.taylorusa.com/media/IBs/7506_ib.pdf . Additional information and a link to the manual is available here: http://www.taylorusa.com/weight-management/glass-electronic-scales/glass-lithium-electronic-scale.html .

I hope this helps.

Battery Replacement Instructions

1. Turn over the scale and open the battery door. (Push ribbed switch and pull up)
2. Replace old batteries with two new 3V Lithium batteries (CR2032).
3. Close battery door.
4. Properly dispose of old batteries.

There is nothing holding the batteries in place once the battery door is opened. If the batteries are difficult to remove, use a small screwdriver to gently pry up on the battery or simply after opening battery door invert the scale and shake.

You have probably set your scale to kilogram and not pounds. There should be a button to set this underneath the scale or even a reset button to reset the scale to its original settings.

This is a reply I received from Taylor customer support. I have followed this procedure enough times to wear out the original battery and still get the Err 1 message. You may have better luck.

Thank you for your e-mail. The reboot below may clear the error from
your scale. You may need to do this several times to completely reboot
the system. Please let us know if you have any questions or continue to
display the Error.


1. Remove the battery from the scale
2. Set the scale on the floor without the battery in place.
3. Stand on the scale for 10 seconds (still without the battery)
4. Carefully replace the battery without turning the scale on.
5. Using only one foot, tap the scale or apply just enough pressure to
turn on the display. (It should show dashes or zero's) IMMEDIATELY
REMOVE YOUR FOOT.
6. Let the scale turn off
7. Step on the scale for a weight reading
