Can the Tire Pressure Monitor Battery Be Replaced?

[QuinnRose]

The battery of the tire pressure monitor will definitely need to be replaced once it is depleted. If not replaced, the tire pressure monitoring system will not function properly, failing to achieve its monitoring purpose. The battery is housed with the tire pressure sensor and comes in two types: built-in and external. For external tire pressure monitors, replacing the battery does not require removing the tire since the sensor is on the outside. Simply remove the old battery, replace it, and reinstall it as before. Additional Information: 1. Battery lifespan varies by brand. Generally, original equipment manufacturers choose built-in batteries, which typically last around 10 years. These batteries are more expensive, but many drivers replace their cars before reaching the 10-year mark, so battery replacement is often unnecessary. 2. External batteries usually last 3-5 years. They are easier to replace and more affordable, helping to reduce vehicle costs. The downside is that they need to be replaced every few years.
