Mine is left on the stems with the batteries left in. Since its in a storage lot, we will see how honest folks are there. Last year I was having an occasional drop out on the TPMS which can raise some hairs on the back of your neck the first time this happens. Changed the batteries and still the same.
This past spring, I replace the batteries with Panasonic brand batteries and for whatever reason, I've had no more drop outs.

I have had more than one TireMinder sensor damaged by battery corrosion after sitting for an extended length of time. I have always used the batteries provided by TireMinder through their battery replacement program.

I've not seen that with a lithium battery. Is TireMinder sending you something other than lithium? I moved to these Panasonic batteries and have had no more sudden heart stopping alarms while driving.
