The Acaia Lunar Base is a fortified replacement base for the Acaia Lunar for heavy or commercial use situations when additional protection is necessary to maintain accuracy. The enlarged profile of the Acaia Lunar Base shields the scale from heat and moisture in shallow drip trays, preventing backsplashes from interfering with the movement of the scale's weighing surface. The polycarbonate outer base also eases movement of the scale across slotted drip trays – a bonus for workflows that involve frequent repositioning of the Lunar.
