Just last month I ordered 2 new batteries for $24.64 and a new sensor tip for $17.76. With shipping and handling everything was $51.12 at NTXTools.

Mine seems to never need charging.

Hmmm guess I better check,as I have not smelled gas lately.

Robert be aware that new sealant will set it off when inspecting and your nose is the first clue.

Mine lasted over 5 years before needing new batteries. Some recommend replacing the sensing tip every 12-18 months depending upon usage.
