    I did the same thing when I took delivery of my new trailer. I put them on both the tractor and trailer since they were so cheap. 6 months in and they still are very accurate when compared to a cat scale.

    That would be great. Mine goes dead even when not around truck and trailer. I managed to route the trailer line up to the front yesterday so I could sit in cab and get weight.

    Try different batteries that aren’t cheap ones like the Amazon ones.They drain quicker than the ones that came with the Appweigh.

    The AppWeigh ones lasted about 1 week. Got an nice set that lasted 2-3 weeks. I just bought a 20 pack of cheap ones since they just go right through them. Do you have some that you had luck with? Let me know brand and info on it.

    Even when I have them on the fast refresh mode or whatever they are called They don’t go through batteries that fast.I bought some cheap ones off of Amazon as well and they don’t last very long.Once I go through them in going to buy small packs of several name brand ones and see which last the longest.

    That was on the fast times. I just reset it to normal and will hope to get better on it. Will use the same batteries as last time to see how it does. Then will use the cheap ones and see if any different.
