yep. That's my modus too.
THere are times i even pull out the unit out of the truck if i know it will be in the garage for a lengthy amount of time. I just opt to usb charge the tpms from time-to-time on my home ofc desk.
It's a hassle to reset the units and the air tire parameters whenever the tpms monitor loses its juice & dies on me.
do what you gotta do so you can do what you wanna do
I've decided to pull the trigger and ordered the solar powered one with the USB charging option.
I got into the habit of checking each tire manually so I hope this would be a better alternative.
At the same time bought 2 sets (10 pcs.) of CR1632 batteries as they are said to last for only 3~6 months.
Three months ago i bought a cheapo solar tpms on lazada and installed it to one of our service vehicles. After 3 weeks tumawag driver na may audible alarm. It's not the low pressure alarm but the high temp. Pinadala ko agad sa talyer and turns out nag stock ang front left brake caliper piston kaya mabilis numipis brake pad on that wheel. This tpms saved me a rotor.

Medyo ot pero saan ba nakakabili nung mga stainless steel pito? Gusto ko palitan iyong rubber valve stems eventually ngga gulong ko.
May nakita ako sa lazada pero not sure kung for motorcycles siya. Or pwede din ba iyong mga iyon para sa kotse din?
Pang iwas na din ng possible slow leak kasi medyo mabigat din iyong sensors ng external tpms.

^ naks! voice assisted pala ang tpms mo. Iyong akin hanggang beep lang [emoji16]
Pero yeah, tempting nga hindi na ilagay iyong lock nut kaya iyong akin hindi ko na tighten masyado iyong nut at iyong sensor. Ako Lang naman din kasi top-up ng air every now and then.
Come to think of it, Sa more than 5 years ko gumagamit nitong external tpms, wala naman atang nagka-interest sa sensors ko. Hindi naman din kasi siya eye catching even for a naughty kid - i'm guessing. Pero sabi nga nila, "never say never".

Ganito yung gamit kong TPMS.
Sa baba nung tire pressure, dun lalabas kung no signal, may leak, high temp, low batt, etc. at magkukulay red yung broken lines na nakapalibot sa circle.
Yung sensor walang pinagkaiba dun sa external na solar yung monitor. Ang bluetooth receiver nya is kamukha ng GPS module ng aftermarket head units.
bro may link ka nung product?

Dito ko nabili yung akin. Nagcheck ako sa shopee ngayon at marami na rin dun. Nung bumili kasi ako noon, kaunti pa lang sa shopee eh. At mas mahal pa benta.
sana gumana yung app sa "ibang" model ng tpms ko
mukhang mas ok yan app mo e

How I wish this was brought up a week ago before ako nagpadala sa sales talk ng mga tsikoteers. ;pMy main concern right now though is yung mga sensor mismo or their effect on the rubber stems.
May nabasa ako na napunit yung rubber ng valve stem or pito due to the sensor weight.

Put adhesive rubber as stopper so the stem doesn't flex at high speeds. Problem solved....

UPDATE: Medyo nag-stabilize na yung mga sensors. Still yung fronts, one is off by 2psi at yung isa ay by 2.5psi naman.
Yung mga temp readings not sure din kung accurate. Malamig naman kagabi pero parang mataas ang temps indicated.
Iniwan ko sa ibabaw ng dashboard yung base unit kahapon para sana mag-charge via solar.
Maybe not a good idea. Ang init nung unit which may not bode well for the batteries and the display.
Di rin naman gaanong nag-charge in that 4 hours or so na exposed directly sa sunlight.
So sinaksak ko na lang sa charger via micro USB until mag-fully charged.
Meron akong ganyan gagamitin ko nga sana as rubber feet nung base unit.
Kaso yung adhesive natuyo na yata kaya ayaw na dumikit.
I was thinking sana of using silicone sealant to build up around the valve stem.
