Much less when you live in a cold climate, or they get corroded from road salt.

    If road salt is getting into your tires, and then into the sealed battery in your TPMS.. you got other bigger issues. Maybe make sure you have all your valve cap isn't broken or missing?

    It didn't happen to me, my car doesn't have TPMS sensors, but a buddy of mine had the cap on his valve stem corrode. The corrosion borked the entire valve stem, and he didn't find out until he went to get his summer tires put on. It didn't leak, but the place charged him some $ because it was a pain to remove and replace.
