Replacing the battery of the E-Pass

**Odo** · August 18th, 2006 09:01 PM

After over half a decade's service my e-pass' battery died. I've opened it up and see a "SAFT 3.6V LS 1400" battery with 3rd party solder tabs.

The battery is identical to the below minus the solder tabs connecting it to the e-pass circuit board.

The e-pass solder tabs is different from the one that really comes from SAFT pictured below.

The battery costs $9-16.00

alam ko both the SLEX and NLEX will replace the batt but for a fee. ang problema, hindi naman yata sila nagbibigay ng service unit while they replace the batt. and it would take them a few days to return the unit to you.

i called the epass ppl and they told me i'll have to buy a new epass if my unit is busted. they wont replace the battery but will replace the whole unit. that's why i'm asking.

Mas maganda mahanap nyo yung part kung saan nilalagyan at nababawasan yung load amount. Astig yan pag hindi na nababawasan!

As for battery, yup, bili na lang kayo separately pag walang ipapalit ang SLEX. Kung bago na dapat ang buong aparato, malamang money-making scheme na nila yan!
