Battery life is expected to be 7 to 10 years, that is what the industry standard is. The units are installed like a regular valve before the tire is installed.
Was anything done prior to the light coming on? If you have had tires fitted and the light came on at that time I would suspect that a unit was damaged during the installation of one of the tires.
How these things work is a mystery to me, I know they transmit a signal and are tied into the garage door opener transmitter.
I am puzzled by the two year warranty against leaks after a nitrogen fill, does that mean you are not going to have to put air into them for two years, I somehow doubt that. I had nitrogen and I saw no difference with it, although some people I spoke to about it thought is was the next best thing to sliced bread.
