    TPMS Wiring to Battery Post Connection?

    Group 31 agm battery

    Just wondering if most of the brands the same? Or maybe does someone have recommendations of a superior brand. I really don’t want to tackle lithium right now, just don’t have the skills. I previously, with my past motorhome got a cheap one at sams club. Any recommendations?
