How to Replace the ETC Battery?
1 Answers
When the ETC runs out of battery, it needs to be replaced at an ETC service outlet. The vehicle owner needs to replace the new OBU device, and this replacement is free of charge. The owner can remove their ETC OBU device and go to the ETC direct service point in their city to complete the free replacement procedure. ETC is the abbreviation for Electronic-Toll-Collection, meaning electronic toll collection system. To process the replacement, the following documents are required: the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and driving license. If the procedure is handled by a non-owner, the agent's valid ID card is also required. The photocopy of the driving license should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. A bank card for deducting highway toll fees is also needed. The applicant must be between 18 and 60 years old, and the vehicle must be registered under a personal name. For company vehicles, the required documents are: An introduction letter from the vehicle owner (with official seal); photocopy of the organization code certificate or business license (with official seal); original ID card of the agent; original driving license of the vehicle; and the vehicle that needs to apply for ETC. How ETC works: The vehicle-mounted electronic tag installed on the windshield communicates with the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station. Computer networking technology is used to settle accounts with the bank in the background, allowing vehicles to pay highway or bridge tolls without stopping when passing through toll stations. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Avoid the hassle of waiting in line; Green and eco-friendly: Low-carbon, as vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions and pollution; Cost-saving: Reduce vehicle startup and braking frequency, minimizing wear and fuel consumption. Users can also enjoy toll discounts; Improved efficiency: The ETC lane can theoretically improve traffic efficiency by 2-3 times or more, making traditional ETC updates faster and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous.
