My TST sensor batteries lasted 2 years and I can replace them easily myself. I have the 507 system. The sensors don't use power if you take them off, which I do if I am parked for a period of time.
Mine stay on all the time and don't go dead. They shouldn't use hardly any power if not moving as they go into sleep mode.
They will not go into sleep mode if the monitor is left plugged in. When not in use, the monitor should be turned OFF and unplugged..moving or not....mine last over 12 months of continuous use, except when we are stopped, then the monitor is unplugged but the sensors stay on both vehicles....Dennis
To the OP, I wouldn't spend the extra $$ on the flow through. We full time and use the system usually every week as that's when we travel. I've only re aired my system once this year so far. I lost about 5# in every position due to the warm weather when we left AZ in March and the cold weather we experienced a month ago. Pretty easy to unscrew the sensor put in air. It also gives me the chance to inspect the sensors and more importantly, the rubber seals, for wear and/or damage.....Dennis

If your tires leak bad enough to require air daily or even weekly then they need to be repaired. The regular 507 is all you need, more streamlined than the flow through, and easy enough to remove to air up if needed.
