    Having read this thread and many others, I was tending towards getting a TPMS with strap on internal sensors such as the Sensatyre system. The two main reasons being protection when off road plus (to a lesser extent) ease of airing down/up. I was just about to make my purchase when I read that the batteries in the sensors are not replaceable. With a battery life of 5-7 years and a replacement cost of $480 (6 wheels at $80/wheel) plus fitting each time, the cost benefit of saving that one tyre becomes questionable. Sure there are other factors such as safety and fuel economy which are somewhat difficult to quantify (I had a tyre blow out towing my van when I was just out of Townsville a few years back) but it seems crazy that the batteries in these internal style units are not replaceable.

    Does anyone know of quality units that do have replaceable batteries or should I start looking at externals/valve stem units again?

    I've finally decided to purchase a TPMS after having 2 soft tyres in quick succession. I suspected one but didn't get to check it until almost too late and don't know how I missed that the other one must have been very soft the last time the vehicle was driven. I've gone for the Masten 8-sensor unit from DIG Options as I wanted external sensors and DIG Options appear to provide good support. The batteries are replaceable and the kit includes a signal booster for the van. I'm aware of possible vibrating valve stems on corrugations so will fit supports for any outback travelling.

    Has anybody tried the ARB internal TPMS?
    https://www.arb.com.au/arb-tyre-pres...toring-system/

    I want something for my Tuff Ants, a small receiver is a bonus, internal fitting for convenience and theft prevention, and I love that the receiver is also a USB power socket.

    Yeah, i had these installed (ARB bought the rights from steel mate) and snapped off the tip of one on a rock which let down the tyre. the valves are soft aluminium and don't flex, so not good for offroad, otherwise they were brilliant.

    Just bought one of these

    Slave Compact Door Lock Actuator with Mounting Hardware

    But bought from eBay for half that price. Works excellently and I did a full install into the defender so it isn't running off the lighter plug (I removed it). Accurate, and with the washers up tight it's hard to get them off, even with the tool I had to then use the lock nut tool to get them off. Accurate as well, I am pretty happy
