Road smart IV mounting and TPMS surprise.

So, I mounted my first Road Smart IV rear tire. Now I have mounted several Michelin tires on two different C-14. But I must say this was the hardest tire to mount that I have ever mounted. I actually broke my harbor freight tire changer. It broke the part that keeps it from spinning. Hope these tires are worth it and that the front tire goes easier tomorrow.
Now the surprise. I had my rear TPMS sensor replaced under warranty last fall. Been working great. But, after removing the tire I noticed it looked different. So apparently Maw Kawasaki decided to upgrade it again. Here is a Pic. Did not look at it closely, but looks like it may be easy to take apart and replace battery? thought I would pass this info along.

Replaceable battery would be good. Why fill the landfills with good hardware if the battery can be replaced?
 
They're the sensors that the H2 SX SE come with and which has the last the latest version of Kipass. Did it come with a rt angle valve stem as on the H2?
