I know this was talked about on the old forum but I just thought I would tell my story.
While I was changing another set of tires I pulled out the sensors, took them apart and dropped them off at a battery specialty shop. They have the equipment to mount all sorts of tabs and such to various types of batteries and they guy took one look and said no problem at all come back later and I will have them done. $20.00 for the complete job, batteries included, and I was on my way. I reinstalled the sensors, spooned on the rubber and went for a ride and the TPS works perfect. Check around your cities and i'm sure you will find the same type of store that can swap out your batteries.
