One shouldn't buy equipment which does not take rechargeable batteries for two reasons:

• it's not environmentally friendly
• over time, it will cost a fortune to run

Don't just look at the purchase price - the consumable costs are a much more important cost factor.

I've never seen a rechargeable cell button battery - where can you buy them?

In this case though, unless you have your scales on 24/7 the battery should last quite a long time. The ones of my current set of scales have lasted me 2 years and are still going strong, and I do a lot of home baking. I don't consider £2 every couple of years to replace a battery to be a fortune.

You don't get rechargeable cell button batteries.
Wherever possible, I try to avoid devices which require button cells - for the above-mentioned reasons. It might not always cost a fortune - if the battery only needs changed very rarely, but it still is more environmentally friendly to use rechargeables.

I have a set of electronic Salter scales, too, which I use daily. They take alkaline or rechargeable batteries (P-22P), which need to be charged up every few months.

It is £15 to have something delivered from a store Basically I think because they dont want it to be a common practice.

I have never seen a discount code for free or even reduced postaged costs. It just not something they do basically because they only just about breakeven on postage as it is I think.

My Salter 1007 scales arrived today. Could anyone who has received their scales tell me how bright their LCD display is? Mine is only really readable viewed at the right angle in decent light. In all the pictures it looks like the digits are a bright white, like they are backlit. Have I got a dud?

Thanks for any info,

come on someone else must have received theirs by now to see!

Hi Chud , I've received mine and like you I thought the lcd display would be brighter.

It is readable though and for £15 I'm not complaining...:xmassmile

Popped in to Robert Dyas today only to find a Circulon 28cm Skillet reduced from £39.99 to £9.99. Was £14.99 or £19.99 though I think earlier on in the week. Brilliant pans with an unbeatable non-stick coating. They use them on Ready Steady Cook as well!
