CR2032 is about 200mAh, AAA is about 1000mAh, but 3 AAA may be a bit too much, 2 is probably better.

Yeah, I'm not quite sure what his intention is. Does the scale optionally take 3xAAA batteries? If so, yes, go that route. It will give you many times the run-time, as HKJ points out.
But if you're thinking of wiring up a 3xAAA battery into the compartment that takes a CR2032, then it will definitely be high on the voltage. IIRC, a new CR2032 is something like 3.3v. Three new AAA alkalines in series will be 4.8v. Two would likely work fine (3.2v), but by the time they're half-depleted it will be down to around 2.6v, which might not be enough voltage to power the scale. Even so, it will give more run time than a CR2032.

cool i ordered 24 of them i cant belive how cheap they are now i got them for like a tad over 1 buck per battery
If you have a Sam's club they were on sale $16 for 18 I believe plus applicable taxes.
