U saw ‘Lo’ on the display?

Saw “- - “. 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.

I have been using it for one week plus and overall satisfy with it. 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...

It's almost the same for all TPMS, at least so far for my 3 sets which I've used.

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.

Mine come with 3 months standard warranty.

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. 😄
