Batteries are not replaceable. The entire sensor must be replaced

Yes they do. Shelf life seems to be varied but anything at about 5 or 6 years onwards and they are at risk of losing battery power.

From all the footage Iāve seen of Palmer, it looks pretty wild. It reminds me of Sonoma Raceway in California with the elevation changes.
-
Optimum Performance replied to the thread GT350 Track Day! First time at Thompson Speedway with POV Footage.Thompson is equivalent to Wachusetts Bunny Hill. Palmer is an experience. Huge elevation changes and massive speed.
