Default TPMS - low battery

I have one Tire pressure monitor sensor (TPMS) that the tire shop told me has a low battery as a result it gives me an error and it seems like none of the sensors work correctly. To remedy this they are recommending to replace them all with aftermarket parts they carry (Discount Tire).

I have heard that the aftermarket sensors are problematic. So I want to confirm that this is the correct part number. Normally this is something I wouldn't worry about but since this a safety system I want it working 100% correctly.

2 questions:

1. Can the battery be replaced on the original sensors I have?

2. Where is the best place to source OEM sensors?
