My sensors have been temp sensitive for a while now, and took a few miles to wake up. Last ride I got the LO BATT warning from the rear sensor, and had to clear the screen every time. Looks like I'll be attempting to solder in new batteries at next tire swap.  :(

Assuming I don't want a tpms will the wanting go away or stop all together when the batts die completely?  Can they be removed to get rid of it sooner?  Mine are 4 years old and cold mornings it take alot of warming for them to clear and the two button push in a pain with gloves on.  I don't really want or need tpms so if it goes away I'm headed that way.

Once the battery dies, then the warnings go away.

I replaced a TPS battery yesterday with help from this forum, and it was easier than I thought. I haven't had a chance to test it yet as I'm waiting for new 90 degree valve stems, but I can see no reason it shouldn't be just fine..  Here are some pics:

Thanks for posting. It looks like you unsoldered the old battery from the tabs and soldered the tabs to the new battery? Were you worried that the heat would damage the new battery?

I was aware of the danger, so the new battery was no where near the area being soldered. I bent the metal connectors so they put pressure on the battery for a solid connection.

So the new battery is NOT soldered. Hopefully vibration will not be a problem. I bought some batteries that have tabs but they are not ideally positioned and I have not decided yet wether to use them. I will be eager to hear about your test ride.

No, I did not solder the battery. There isn't much room for it to move where it is, plus there's that little yellow "spring" thing that presses down on it. It's crunched in there pretty tightly!
