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

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.

Well let see.... I don't remember every changing the batteries since I put them in place, so if you can see when I bought them, not since then. Thanks for reminding to change the batteries. I do test then so I know they still work. One has saved me a couple times.

Time to replace the battery. The A23 batteries included with the system are junk. A couple of my sensors only lasted 3 months. I bought energizer brand as replacements.

Correct. These sensors are the same style found on millions of cars worldwide. if they sell tires they'll know how to deal with TPMS sensors.For technical assistance service techs can call 800 288 1804 and speak to one of our technical service reps who can answer any questions.

You will probably need to take it to your mechanic to be installed. The sensor can only be installed from inside the tire and a scanner may need to be used to clear the TPMS light.

Had the tire shop install mine when I had new tires installed. They will have to program it to your vehicle. Most places have the device to get your vehicle to recognize the sensors. Some vehicles allow you to self-program by deflating/inflating the individual tires. Search the Internet for your vehicle.

So funny.. i just replaced the batteries last night. AA batteries, it was easy to replace, there are some small screws. The batteries lasted over a year, but it is having some trouble in the cold weather. It is in the negatives here in NY and the outside temp is not reading.

It should not be a problem. They all transmit to the same receiver. I replaced all 4 as I bought a new set of tires and mine were 5 years old, about the life of the battery, which is non-replaceable. They sync'd up in a few minutes and have worked without a problem since.

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.

I honestly wouldn't highly recommend this product the battery died completely after only having it for 3 months and it barely could put air in one SUV tire without havig to be re-charged .amazon was nice enough to credit me for the purchase price.i would look at other brands and read the reviews carefully .hope this helps

Yes you can. Be advised I do not recommend this system. Short battery life, less than 1 year, which requires you to purchase new sensors plus the cost of remounting your tires. Zero customer support. Contacted Orange Electronics regarding warranty repair, never responded. Can not recommend based upon my experience purchasing two sets that do not work.

I have two multi-sensors in service since Feb 20, 2014. Both currently report battery level at 75%. Note they have been at this level for a while. At this rate, I am expecting a 9-12 month life span.

I use my sensor pump all the time, many times a day. The batteries seem to last pretty long. I also have mine set on the lowest setting. In the beginning the light is green and the as the batteries get weaker it turns red. Don't replace the batteries until it stops working. Always keep an extra set on hand.

Hi Nick,Thank you for contacting us. The batteries in the door/window sensors are 3v lithium batteries that will last about 2 years. The battery in the motion detector is the same 3v lithium battery with 2-year life.If you have any other questions, let me know.Sincerely,Andrew

We have an older model, and have a recycle bin on the floor under the sensor. I have found if my wife puts something in the bin that blocks the sensor (a few inches away), then the batteries go dead in a few days. Otherwise, it usually more than a year between battery changes.

The sensors come with batteries, but depending where sensors are located in dwelling, might only last for 6 months

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.)
