Compact precision scale

The MEIYA ZBC-MEIYA001 is a pocket-sized digital balance with a 500 g capacity and 0.01 g readability. It suits home cooks, jewellers, hobbyists and students who need reliable gram-level results without a benchtop instrument.

Upgrade from coarse kitchen scales

It replaces typical 1 g resolution kitchen scales when recipes, portion control or small-batch formulation demand finer increments. The jump is worth it whenever an ingredient or component weighs less than a few grams and rounding errors would change the outcome.

Limits of the strain-gauge sensor

Accuracy depends on a stable, level surface and protection from drafts or vibration; the 0.3 g minimum load means ultra-light samples below that threshold cannot be weighed reliably. The plastic housing and included trays are not rated for harsh chemicals or wet environments.

Questions about this item

What are the exact dimensions and weight of the scale so I can check if it fits my bench space?

The scale measures 4 inches by 5 inches by three-quarters of an inch and weighs 0.24 kilograms.

How do I install the batteries and what is the common mistake to avoid?

Insert the two included AAA zinc-carbon batteries observing the polarity markings; the common mistake is inserting them backwards, which prevents the scale from powering on.

When will I need to replace the batteries and how do I know?

Replace the two AAA zinc-carbon batteries when the LCD backlight dims or the display shows a low-battery indicator.
