How Long Can ETC Battery Last?
1 Answers
Generally, an ETC device can last 2-3 months after a single charge. The ETC user manual does not specify the exact duration of battery life after charging. For car owners who do not frequently use ETC, it is recommended to charge the ETC device every 3 months. If using a wired power supply for ETC, it is advisable to charge it monthly when not in use for extended periods to prevent battery self-discharge from affecting the ETC battery's lifespan. ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection, which is an electronic toll payment system. To apply for ETC, the following documents are required: the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle registration certificate (original and photocopy). If the application is handled by a proxy, the proxy's valid ID card is also needed. The photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Additionally, a bank card for deducting highway tolls is required. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old, and the vehicle must be registered under a personal name. For company vehicles, the required documents include: an introduction letter from the vehicle owner (with official seal), a photocopy of the organization code certificate or business license (with official seal), the proxy's original ID card, the original vehicle registration certificate, and the vehicle for which ETC is to be installed. ETC works by communicating between the onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at toll stations. It uses computer networking technology to settle transactions with banks in the background, allowing vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping to pay tolls. Benefits of installing ETC include: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line. Green and eco-friendly: Reduces noise and exhaust emissions as vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping. Cost-saving: Reduces wear and tear and fuel consumption by minimizing vehicle starts and stops, and users can enjoy toll discounts. Efficiency improvement: ETC lanes can theoretically increase passing efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC more advanced, faster, and high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous.
