Will the batteries in the individual tire sensors last until the tires need to be replaced?Please don't answer "Don't know."

They are supposed to last at least 5 years. I bought this TPMS one year ago, and still runnig well

I was using these to experiment with TPMS, so we were triggering their output more often than usual. But, I got a low battery indicator on one tire after about 2 months of use.

Most TPMS batteries are lasting around 5-7 years. Service life of TPMS batteries was intended to be 10 years but most are not hitting this mark.

I've had this TPMS over 8 years (2 sets of tires) and it has worked well...and still going strong! Unfortunately, I was told by the dealer that when the batteries wear out, they're not replaceable...so, whichever one dies, that individual unit has to be replaced and costs $60 + $16 to install, remount and balance each wheel. Considering that, this $140 set of 4 with the receiver display from Amazon is a good price and a better option than replacing them individually. (Granted, I haven't researched buying individual sensors from other than the dealer where I bought the original system...which might end up being the way to go if you already have the receiver display, which has 2 replaceable AA batteries.)

single tire, was used to replace a faulty OE sensor, but sold vehicle before installing. Vehicle would have to be reprogrammed after installing. Consider pressure sensors a troublesome techological advance that are more trouble than worse. Suzuki wanted $175 to replace a sensor, entire system was a problem from first day of purchase, Grand Vitara was worse vehicle I have ever owned, so bad in so many ways, glad to see them go. BTW system doesn't monitor the spare tire, stupid engineering, nothing like having a flat and finding out spare is also flat, better to have a digital pressure gage and check tires manually. Unable to shut off dash warning light as anti lock, traction control and pressure monitoring were all tied together.

I've got this same set on my bike and I use rechargeable batteries in mine. They usually last about a month to a month 1/2 before having to be recharged. I've been using the same batteries since I got this set of lights about 4 years ago.

I don't think so, but the batteries have lasted for about 5 months so far. Also, batteries are far safer...

This tire gauge uses a regular watch type battery that is not rechargable. Replaceable only. My previous one was 3 years old and still functioning fine when I lost it.

The first set of Duracell batteries in one light on our front porch (activated a few times a night on average) lasted for four years. I had to replace them earlier this year so i don't know how long these second set will last.

Their literature says that the batteries and the sensor should be changed once per year. I have owned these instruments about 25 years and have found that every 2 years is just about right. I google, ( and now Amazon ) look at price and then buy

I don't know if they will work in the dead of winter. I still have mine turned on and so far it has been down to 19 F. They tell you not to leave the batteries in during real cold weather so when it get down a little more I will take the batteries out until early spring.

I replace the battery itself every time I replace my vehicle battery. About 6 years. They still seem to have enough power to sound the alarm but I change them anyway.

You're welcome.I get nuisance deer permits here from the DNR and they came out to see my fields with my sensors and they dubbed me "The High Tech Redneck" :)........But hey, they work! Oh, I forgot to tell you. They use one 9V battery per sensor and mine lasted from March thru October with no battery failures.......

call and ask specifically (have your serial number available) i bought these and they worked flawlesly.. i had my local tire shop install them for me and they charged a fee to install them and a fee to program them (you have to do this with the correct devices) there wer no other parts required. i'm not certain what aarish is referring to.... there are only the sensor inside the tires and the computer for the system.

Don't know how the batteries will hold up in your winters. I have had my lights and have only changes the batteries once. It is in the weather year-round, from 100 plus degree Northeast Texas heat to temps in the low twenties last winter.

That's approximately the date the sensors will start to deteriorate. It will start beeping and keep on so, until you change it out. It will also keep beeping even without a battery for some 3 or 4 days.

Yes, I have 12 homes in Arizona that leave their cars any where from 3 to 6 months without driving them. The batteries stay charged over that period. I also use them on batteries in gas golf carts.

They should last a long time as the unit is direct wired to 110 volts. So it's based on the shelf life of the battery. I have several direct wired smoke detectors and I only replace the batteries when one of them is low, then I replace all of them. batteries. I expect the batteries will last over 2 years.

Had to do a little digging for the answer to your question. I believe they are replaceable. The batteries that are installed from the manufacturer are; a single CR2032 3V Lithium Coin Cell and 3 of the LR44 1.5V Button Cells. Dis-assembly requires the removal of two small Phillips head screws. Should you be curious about any other specs or information about this tire gauge, the manufacturer's website is: http://www.tektontools.com/All_Products/5941/Digital_Tire_Gauge_100_Psi

Oh, thanks for clearing that up for me. But I'm kinda worried that they aren't replaceable. I've seen a few batteries die completely in a state where they aren't even rechargeable anymore. I hope these lithium batteries last if you can't replace them.
