I don't exactly know the life expectancy of TPS batteries. Much depends on not so much as the age of the sensor batteries, but how much they are called upon for a reading. If you don't drive the car very much, I can see the batteries still having juice. If your car has lots of miles over the years...........you got a great set of batteries.

Still have original tires. I guess it would be good idea to replace
batteries when I replace tires. The tires will need replaceing in
the near future for it gets driven more now. It use to be the garage
queen but now it's the daily driver ever since I bought the new Z06.
Now the Z06 is the garage queen.

I think the general consensus is 5-7 years.
Looks like you got a great set there. Maybe worth changing them next time you have tires off. Thy're quite pricey though - $80 each I think.

Replacing just the batteries is not an easy task. Used to be a forum member that did that but haven't seen anything from him in a long, long time. The $80 is for the entire sensor.

can understand would not be an easy task. The time to do it would
be when you are replacing tires anyway.
