Batteries for pressure sensors?

I'm about to put new tires on my '99. I want to change the batteries in the pressure sensor when they get mounted. What kind of batteries do I need to buy and take with me to the tire shop?

I don't know how to send a link - go to c5-tech section, do a search for "tire sensor" then order new ones from Fred Beans. They are on sale this month.

Just to clarify: the batteries are sealed in the sensor housing. Replacement IS NOT intended based on the design. Several members have had some success breaking the sensors open and replacing the battery with a similar specialized one. The previous post refers to the purchase of new sensors, not the purchase of replacement batteries.

Yes, thank you for the clarification. I bought the new sensors along with new tires. Both were original.
