How to Charge the ETC Battery?
1 Answers
Installing ETC does not require charging as it uses a built-in power source. The ETC electronic tag consumes power, but there is no need to charge the battery during normal use because there is a solar panel on the back of the battery that can charge itself. During installation, it is necessary to avoid the black areas on the windshield. The built-in power source of ETC typically has a lifespan of 3-5 years. ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection, which means an electronic toll system. To apply for ETC, you need to provide the original and photocopies of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and driving license. If the application is not made by the owner, a valid ID card of the agent is also required. The photocopy of the driving license should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Additionally, a bank card for deducting highway tolls is needed. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old, and the vehicle must be registered under a personal name. How ETC works: The onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield communicates with the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station. Using computer networking technology, it settles the toll with the bank in the background, allowing the vehicle to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping to pay the toll. 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 expenses by minimizing the frequency of vehicle starts and stops, thereby decreasing wear and fuel consumption. Users can also enjoy toll discounts; Improved efficiency: The ETC lane 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.
