a thought has occurred to me reading that link (hi by the way , I'll do a proper intro in due course).

This battery is a standard PC motherboard battery (hence the flylead)



Rather than cutting the connecter off and soldering the wires to the PCB inside the TPS why not remove the prongs, find a matching socket and solder that into the PCB.



That way when you want to do a battery replacement its a simple (once you've got to the TPS)  plug out/plug in job

There's been a lot said on this thread about replacing the batteries in a non sealed unit but no real mention of the sealed units themselves.
Has anyone replaced the sealed units because of low battery problems or is it safe to say that the sealed units are lasting a nice long while?

No sticky a battery is a battery which ever unit u use its just a way of mother kwak stopping battery replacements instead of unit replacements. Its just company profits being looked after thats all. Theres no mention that ive heard of to say they last any longer.
Sadly it just comes down to economics 😩

I am told the new sensors have the insides in epoxy whatever that means, if I have one go down I will try my hardest to get inside it and take a look to see if I can replace the battery before spending any pension money on a new unit.

Ive got 27 fingers and 11 thumbs but I completed the battery replacement first time using the batteries with the wires attached, go for it. My bike is 2009 reg and the transponders were held together by a small screw not a sealed unit.
