Will the ETC in the car run out of power?

[KaiRose]

ETC can run out of power. There are two types of ETC devices: one with solar power and one without, but both rely on the battery inside the ETC device to maintain normal operation. It is recommended to charge the device every 3 months to prevent natural discharge of the internal battery. ETC stands for Electronic-Toll-Collection, which refers to the electronic toll collection system. To apply for ETC, the following documents are required: the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and driving license. If the application is not made by the owner, the valid ID card of the agent must also be provided. 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. The applicant must be between 18 and 60 years old and the vehicle must be registered under an individual's name. For company vehicles, the required documents include: A letter of introduction from the vehicle owner (with official seal); a photocopy of the organization code certificate or business license (with official seal); the original ID card of the agent; the original driving license of the vehicle; and the vehicle that needs to be equipped with ETC. 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, the system settles payments with the bank in the background, allowing vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping to pay tolls. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line; Green and eco-friendly: Reduces noise and exhaust emissions by allowing vehicles to pass through toll stations without stopping; Cost-saving: Reduces wear and fuel consumption by minimizing vehicle starts and stops; 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.
