VECOTOOLS Refrigerant Charging Scale 220 lb (100 kg) — 9"x9" Aluminium Platform, Backlit LCD

The VECOTOOLS 220LBS Digital Refrigerant Charging Scale is a portable, aluminum-platform HVAC scale engineered to accurately weigh refrigerant tanks up to 220 lb (100 kg) for charging and recovery tasks.

Designed for field technicians and HVAC professionals, this scale combines a reinforced aluminum platform, an easy-to-read backlit LCD controller, and a compact carrying case so you can transport and use it on-site. It operates from a standard 9V battery (not included), offers an auto-zero function for precise tare adjustments, and avoids automatic power-off to prevent interruptions during longer charging sessions. The 9" x 9" platform fits most common refrigerant tanks and the anti-slip surface keeps cylinders stable while you record weights.

How accurate and reliable is the VECOTOOLS refrigerant charging scale?

The scale provides professional-grade accuracy suitable for refrigerant charging and recovery, with a maximum capacity of 220 lb (100 kg) and an accuracy rating of ≤±0.05% under normal conditions. A built-in auto-zero function helps preserve precision after placing the tank, and the reinforced chassis minimizes flex under load.

• Maximum capacity: 220 lb / 100 kg
• Accuracy: ≤±0.05%
• Auto-zero function for quick taring
• Reinforced aluminum structure to reduce deformation

What features make it easy to use on service calls?

The VECOTOOLS scale prioritizes field usability with a clear backlit LCD controller, simple manual power control, and a durable carrying case for protection and transport. Because the unit is powered by a 9V battery, you can operate in locations without mains power and keep the controller visible in low-light environments.

• Large backlit LCD for readable measurements in varied light
• Manual power control — no automatic shutoff during tasks
• Protective blue carrying case included for portability
• 9V battery operation for remote or mobile work

Will the platform fit different refrigerant tanks and stay stable?

The 9" x 9" platform is sized to accommodate most standard refrigerant recovery tanks and cylinders used in automotive and HVAC applications. An anti-slip surface plus a reinforced base design keeps tanks steady while you weigh, minimizing wobble and measurement errors.

• Platform size: 9" x 9" to fit common tank diameters
• Anti-slip surface reduces cylinder movement during weighing
• Reinforced base supports heavy tanks without sagging
• Compact footprint for use on service benches or vehicle floors

How do I set up and maintain the scale for accurate readings?

Setting up the VECOTOOLS scale is straightforward: place the unit on a flat, stable surface, install a 9V battery in the controller, power up, and use the auto-zero function before loading a tank. Regularly inspect the platform and base for debris, keep the weighing surface clean, and store the scale in its carrying case to help preserve calibration and extend service life.

• Install 9V battery and power on via manual control
• Use auto-zero each time you position a tank
• Keep platform clean and free of oil or debris
• Store in the included carrying case between jobs

Who is this for: The VECOTOOLS 220LBS Digital Refrigerant Charging Scale is intended for HVAC and refrigeration technicians, mobile service professionals, and automotive A/C specialists who need a reliable, portable weighing solution for refrigerant charging and recovery. It suits technicians who require high-capacity weighing with clear, backlit readouts and a durable platform that stands up to field conditions.
