Then went to check the tire and pressed the sidewall and compared with the rest. Didn’t feel like low pressure. So change the battery and voila, all back to normal. if low pressure, the unit will scream and beep incessantly. ↡ Advertisement 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charged it up once first time with usb. Battery level is still going strong as of now. I slotted it into the driver door side pocket When ride is on the move tyre guage will shift upward by 1 or 2 index. Apparently the Tyre guage itself would also auto shut off the screen after non movement for certain hours. The screen blank out and would only beep light up when someone get into the seat. Normal for pressures to rise by 2-3 psi especially on hot day and if you use lots of brake. The fronts will usually heat up faster and higher due to heat from braking.

I see, the manual said Lo will be displayed if battery is low. Funny... Learnt something new today. I also using steelmate, almost 3 years and battery never changed before. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be a few OEMs in China supplying the market because most of the budget ones ~$20-$40 look and work the same. $20+ from Shopee should be good enough. I have two sets, one of them has a sensor that started to leak due to poor seal despite being only 6 months old. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pay a bit more there is an option to extent for further 3 months. Literally saying mine set should be able to last 6 months at least. 😄 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
