[QUOTE="alank2, post: 3820012, member: 108"] It is part of the technology of the scale. All digital scales use a load sensor to weigh and to give you a weight, they are essentially comparing two load sensor values against each other. When you hit tare/zero, it might be that "11453" is zero. Then you put a bullet on it and the sensor becomes "11489" and the scale does the math between the difference and converts it to a proper weight. The problem with the load sensor is that you can't always count on "11453" being zero. They wander for various reasons, voltage fluctuations, temperature fluctuations, etc. Their software usually will correct it when "on zero"; for example, if it goes from 11453 to 11454 to 11455, then 11455 will automatically become the new "zero". But things change when a weight is on the scale. It then knows it is off zero, but that doesn't stop the sensor from wandering. So the longer you stay off zero with something on the scale, the more likely when you remove the weight, it may not be back at zero. If you have a battery power option, give it a try, it may be more stable than a wall adapter/plugged in thing. Or it may not, if it is getting older, it could just be a function of aging. [/QUOTE]
