[QUOTE="RegionRat, post: 2625559, member: 57231"] Some scales have battery power, some do not. It doesn't take much effort to rig power. Just food for thought. Many of us just go ahead and run electronic powder dispensers both at the home work bench and on the range. In most examples, it just takes a little effort to organize a 12V cord to get power from the vehicle or from a battery pack for places without outlets. Most of the current load cell scales or dispensers are sturdy enough to tolerate portable use. Since the electronic scales below a price level are all load cells, you may as well make it easier on yourself and just run the dispenser. It ends up far less fuss than dragging separate scale plus everything else it takes to handle powder. Just something to consider... YMMV ETA: pay particular attention to your criteria. Many scales, portable or not, are poor performers when it comes to zero drift and trickle response. It was a shame they stopped making the GemPro 250. None of the ones I would recommend are still in production and I am not familiar with all the latest alternatives other than the A&D scales which are not cheap.
