I purchased front and rear tire pressure sensors for replacement of original sensors about a year ago. Each sensor, as you know, has a CR2032 battery sealed into the unit (not easily replaceable). These batteries have a shelf life of quite a few years IF NOT BEING USED. However, I am unclear if this battery is being used (i.e., draining power by sending out a signal) when it sits on a shelf (and not installed in a wheel)? Is my shelf life shorter when these batteries are installed in a tire pressure sensor that is NOT in use vs a battery that is NOT installed in a senor and just sitting on a shelf?
PS - My ORIGINAL tire pressure sensors in my R1200GS 2015 lasted about 3 years in the FRONT tire while the REAR sensor is still going strong.
