How to Charge an ETC Battery?
1 Answers
ETC devices can be charged via solar panels or wired charging. ETC devices with solar panels do not require charging, while those with wired charging need to be charged using a charger. Both types of ETC electronic tags have internal batteries. Solar-powered ETC devices do not require charging during daily driving, and their lithium batteries typically last 3 years under normal use. However, for those who do not frequently use ETC, it is recommended to charge the ETC device every 3 months to effectively mitigate the impact of natural battery discharge on its lifespan. ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection, which is an electronic toll system. To apply for ETC, the vehicle owner must provide original and photocopied versions of their valid ID card and vehicle registration certificate. If someone else is handling the application on behalf of the owner, they must also bring their own valid ID card. 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 toll fees is required. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old, and the vehicle must be registered under their name. How ETC works: The onboard electronic tag, installed on the vehicle's windshield, communicates with the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at toll stations. Using computer networking technology, it settles payments with the bank in the background, allowing vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping to pay. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line; Green and eco-friendly: Promotes low-carbon travel by reducing noise and exhaust emissions, as vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping; Cost-saving: Reduces wear and tear, lowers fuel consumption, and users can enjoy toll discounts; Improved efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically increase traffic efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster, more advanced, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous.
