I have a c5 does anyone know the battery part number to replace in a TPMS. Digikey battery i think but need the number to order for replace of these batteries Or any other replacement batteries

You ever try to change one?

No just viewed a youtube repair

Kind of not worth the effort.

I did a quick search and found these threads. Both give the battery part numbers for Digikey and one got them also at Batteries Plus.

Your profile does not show what year your car is, so these links are for the early ('97-'00) sensors.

The later ('01-'04) are much more difficult to do and also replacement sensors are cheaper, so most people don't replace batteries in those.

Good luck.

Thanks to all who reply. My corvette is a 2000

I dream of vettes

I'd be interested to know this as well. I'll be putting new tires on this spring and one of my TPMS sensors is already dead. I'm sure the other sensors aren't far behind. My car is a 2000 as well.

I would like to rebuild mine next year before I put new tires on... I've watched the videos as well and am serious about trying it. A few of mine act up once in a while.

I re-did my tpms a few years ago and still working. my vette is a 2000 also. the no. for the battery is. part no. P271-ND, manufacturer part number, CR-2477/VCN, discription, LITHIUM COIN 3V PC PINS. unit price was 4.13 each. hope this helps. MAKE SURE THAT YOU PUT A TESTER ON THEM AFTER YOU SOLDER THE PINS TO INSURE YOU HAVE MADE CONTACT. there phone no. is 1-800-344-4539, if you have any quistions for them.

I have a 1999 and two new spare sensors. I also have the check monitoring system message and know the issue is the right rear sensor. So my plan is to replace the RR with one of the spares. I then would like to replace the batteries in the other three. Is there a way that I can reliably test the unit with the replacement battery prior to removing the wheel and installing the sensor? Put in another way is there a way to test a sensor off of the car?

Thanks!

You can train them to the car before they are installed in a wheel. It will show zero pressure and tell you that you have a flat tire, but you can clear that message. It will not tell you battery strength or accuracy of pressure readings, but it will tell you if they are working.

When you train sensors, you will loose the training on the previously trained sensors, so you will need to train them all. If you train the one for the RR before you install it, there will be no need to retrain it after it is installed as long as you put it in the RR position.

Good luck.

Buy new ones from Gene Culley and sell the old ones on that auction site. Let some one else re-build them.

Perfect. Thanks!!

As a matter of interest, I have 2 full sets of mounted summer and winter tires. When I change sets I don't have to retrain for the second set. My car seems to remember both sets, Though mine is an `03. I think changing the batteries is a worthwhile project if you like doing that sort of thing.

When a person buys a new set of sensors how can he tell how long they have been on the shelf ? The factory gave a life span of 10 years for the battery but what if they have been around for while ; don't want to buy new ones every time I put tires on .

On the backside of the sensor you should see a little clock molded in. The pointer on the clock points to the month. i.e., 8 = August. On the left and right side of the pointer you should see a number - that is the year.

Thanks for the info Vettman Jack !! I have an 04 and changing out the sensors is the way I'll go . Maybe someday a vender will make a sensor with easy to swap batteries .... how about rechargeable batteries that do it thru the round reset magnet ? That would be a good trick .
