Default TPMS and new tires

Im installing new Michelins on the rear of my 2000 Vette. My air pressure sencers are working fine but I was wondering if its a good time to replace...well are the batteries replaceable? Im familiar with C4s but not these. thanks

The batteries are not easily replaceable. Most buy new sensors, yours will cost $85 a piece at one of the Forum's discount vendors.

Since the usually last 7 years (Series I), now would be a good time to replace them.

I ordered new sensors and am going to have my local Chevy dealer install them and the new Michelins on my magnesium rims.
