Travelon Transit Rechargeable Luggage Scale review

The Travelon Transit Rechargeable Luggage Scale is the pick for anyone tired of hunting for coin cells. It charges over USB-C, and Travelon says a full charge from empty takes 20 minutes. The capacity is 110 lb (50 kg), the backlit HD LCD stays readable in a dim room, and a data lock holds the result so you can set the bag down before reading it. At 0.20 lb and 5.9 x 1.4 x 1.2 inches it is the lightest scale we compared, and a rear zippered pocket is built in. It costs $22 on Travelon's store, and Travelon accepts returns within 30 days. Two limits: Travelon does not ship it from its own warehouse to California because of state battery rules, so California buyers must use an authorized retailer, and the page does not state the reading increments. We compared documented features and published prices and did not test the scale.
