Looks very similar to mine which is a Tire Minder aka Minder Research system
The sensors with Lion replaceable batteries
Tire Minder gives you free batteries, every year, for 7 years. So i simply ever year removed the transmitters when the rig was stored for winter and got new batteries and new O rings. My system was about 4 years old and the thing went crazy alarms and no signal so i gave up on it. Later just to see what would happen decided to contact Minder Research via email.
1st response "we will give you a small discount on a new system"
after a few more emails asking why would I consider buying this @#$%$# again when it dies so quickly. For $300 +++ it should be operational for many years
2nd response - So sorry to hear you have had issues please send the system to us and let us look it over. OK Why not my cost in shipping less than $5.00 so sent it off to Florida.
Two weeks later after a few probing questions I get a USPS tracking # and a message saying we found your monitor to be defective and new version is on it's way to you. A week or more goes by and a package arrives. A few days later I installed the system and found it works like a champ all at a cost of only $5.00.
They are good well intentioned folks however the made in China stuff is what it is ...
Never had any issues with the transmitter caps cracking - do not over tighten them they are cheap plastic nothing more - get the O ring to seal finger tight and you should be good to go
