I would suggest 'Rock Auto Parts' for the sensors, and no, unfortunately, the batteries are not replaceable.

Is your C5 a European version or U.S. version?

If you can find new sensors that is probably a better option.

You will need a trigger tool ...they will not work with a magnet.

Good plan!

After watching the videos, it seems to be a lot of tedious work, with some risks, when brand new replacements are easily available.
