My WS-50 is killing new batteries within 3 days. It's unusable at this rate. It's connected to wifi, but no devices. Help?

Are you using rechargeable batteries with your scale? I contacted the customer service as I'm also experiencing the same problem. Since I'm using rechargeable batteries, they informed me that this kind of batteries will not last as long as non-rechargeable batteries in the scale. But if you're using non-rechargeable batteries, you may contact them using this link https://support.withings.com/hc/en-us/requests/new.

Good luck ... Customer service was very little help to me. Didn't offer a solution, just offered a discount on new unit. I threw my $170 unit in the dump and moved on to a different brand.

Mine suddenly started doing the same after being great for a couple years. Suddenly, less than a week and fresh duracells are dead.
Maybe a bad firnware update? No response from Withings
