Tyre pressure monitoring systems for all types of vehicle

What type of battery is used in the tyre valve sensors and how easy are these to replace?

Batteries for the sensors are flat lithium cells, CR1632, fairly widely available, and you can order them here. They should last at least a year in normal use.

Replacing them only takes a few moments, just unscrew the outer cover from the sensor and slip the new battery into place.

    Are the sensors only ‘on’ while the receiver is on? in other words, will the battery last longer on a low-usage vehicle, and flatten quicker on a high-usage one? I assume the receiver will indicate a low-voltage, missing, or damaged sensor.
