I get it, everyone is saying that the ubiquitousness of this model is their strong sell.

But hear me out, what if we're buying them in bulk (yes, so do I), *because* they don't last as much as a more appropriate alternative that's less popular?

@theflameeyes I wonder how much of this "doesn't last long" is due to a permanent drain because the scales only need a bump or a touch to start operation.
