[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 897586, member: 3828"] This looks like a pretty good system, especially with the higher pressure range and individually programmable limits. But... In the owners manual it indicates an expected battery life of 3 years on the sending unit, but then infers that the sending unit must be replaced. i.e. no replaceable batteries. How much are replacement sending units going to be in 3 years? Looks like they are $53 each now. So $106 plus shipping every 3 years. Will this outfit still be around in 3 years to sell you a replacement? Can't they make it with replaceable batteries? Maybe start up a trade-in program and refurbish them? And of course, when the batteries do die, it'll mean waiting till that tire wears out before you're going to want to replace it since it is inside the tire. [/QUOTE]
