My cheapie scale that runs on CR2032s and has touch controls is always powering itself on because there is something beside it near the touch area like a pan or whatever. Stupid design but the scale is red so that gets it a pass to still exist in the kitchen.

 

It also will turn off when part way thru adding stuff, so if I have to add 250ml of milk, and that one runs out at 100ish and I am opening another carton it will power down and I have to do maths as to where I was up to with adding it.

 

Heh, specs match my Terraillon.  Pretty sure it was whatever was on sale at Briscoes years ago.  Batteries seem to last a decent chunk of time (can't recall the last time I replaced them) but you definitely have to be aware of the timeout mid ingredient as noted above.
