[GrizHFMinimill] Re: igaging scale batteries keep dying

Might be a defective gage, all three of mine have been going strong on the first set of batteries for going on 2 months now with no signs of weakness and near daily use. Is your shop very cold/damp or using a ventless gas heater that causes equipment to sweat? Might be moisture....

I used the scales for a few hours today and they worked great. I came back a few hours later and the displays were so dim I could hardly read them. Unplugging/replugging helped a tiny bit. Replacing the batteries worked fine. Then those died after a few hours of use too...
