What to Do When a Solar-Powered ETC Card Runs Out of Power?
1 Answers
When a solar-powered ETC runs out of power, you can park the car under the sun to allow the solar panel to recharge the ETC. If this doesn't work, you can take the device to an ETC service center to check if the solar charging is functioning properly. Generally, within the first two years of use, any quality issues, including the ETC running out of power, can be addressed with a free replacement. Here are some related details: 1. ETC Usage Duration: Typically, ETC devices use lithium batteries internally and are charged externally via solar panels. Under normal use, they last about three years. For users who do not frequently use ETC, it is recommended to charge the ETC electronic tag every three months to prevent natural discharge of the internal battery from affecting its performance. 2. Function of ETC: ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection. This technology uses an IC card as a data carrier and achieves remote data access between the toll computer and the IC card through wireless data exchange. In simple terms, it allows vehicles to pass through toll stations without stopping to queue for payment. Instead, automatic recognition and fee deduction are used, significantly improving efficiency for both toll stations and drivers. Additionally, ETC payments are processed online, eliminating the hassle of cash transactions and change.
