Scale trouble

My scale's been doing this weird thing. I step on it and it goes to one weight (ex 58.8 kg) and then I'll step off for a second, and the number will go to 0. Then if I step on it again, while it is still displaying 0 (instead of off) it will go to a much lower weight (ex 57.2) and then show that one consistently. Which one is right? Is there a way I can test it? Does it need new batteries or something? Thanks!

    Sounds like it's time to get a new scale or battery to me!

    My scale got destroyed tonight when my toddler flooded the bathroom. I swear I'm going back to analog. Digital is such a pain.

    Try changing the battery.

    2. If you have moved the scale at all, it needs to re-zero. The reason the first weight is higher in this example is because you lifted the pan from the sensor causing it to go to a non zeroed weight. That's not good.

    If you have not moved it and replacing the battery doesn't work, get a new one.
