Siinman and TheLoadOut Thank this. -
I ended up putting a right weigh on the tractor - I’d find my battery dead right when I needed it.
Maybe get a month or two - but I don’t run that much.
I guess it’s all that pairing/unpairing that kills them. -
I just reset them to the lowest setting. Will have to calibrate them again. So far not impressed at all with them.
blairandgretchen, Vampire and TheLoadOut Thank this. -
Just found a 20 pack of batteries for 7 bucks on Amazon.
blairandgretchen Thanks this. -
The right weigh in the box on the trailer is expensive but pretty top notch, IMO.
The App weigh - well, I should have checked it first, but when standing around with a crane crew directing them where to place the load . . .
Yeah - I looked like an a-hole standing there looking at my phone . . .

With a 320” WB, my only guess was it was continually pairing/searching whatever, while the phone was in the truck, and the battery drained.
Only thing I can think of is to route it behind something solid like a crossmember to block it until you need to walk back and check it.
It’d be a better tool if you could wire it to 12v - like a clearance light circuit.
