Should I get a battery, rechargeable, or battery-free luggage scale?

Reviewer consensus

Coin-cell battery models are the cheapest and most common but require occasional battery swaps. USB-C rechargeable models avoid disposable batteries and often add larger backlit displays, while battery-free designs eliminate power worries entirely at a small premium. The right pick depends on how often you travel and whether you want one less thing to maintain.
