Battery Life of Tire Pressure Sensors Used on TST-507-INT-6-C Tire Pressure Monitoring System

Updated 12/26/2019 | Published 12/24/2019

Question:

I have questions. 1. can I get a pressure reading immediately after switching on, or do I have to wait 15-30 minutes. 2. internal sensor battery only lasts 12-18 months? So I must plan to spend $200+ to replace every year? tire removal and reinstall 3.Since the internal sensor batteries are sealed, how do I get a new battery? Thank you for your time

According to TST, once the repeater is installed, the sensors included with the # TST-507-INT-6-C will work within 5 minutes. My representative tells me that the expected battery life is 3-5 years, and once the battery goes dead, the sensor itself must be replaced as the batteries are indeed sealed and aren't replaceable.
