    Not sure if you're serious or not, but what the heck, I'll bite.

    If they have any security brains at all, they'd keep track of the balance in their systems, not in the ePass device itself. ;)

    Ganyan nga ang highway robbery dito sa SLEX....

    I was thinking of tapping the car's battery via the cigarette lighter plug using a voltage regulator, scaled down to 3.6V.... It should work... What I am not certain though is, if the unit requires the power all the time for memory and other background tasks.....

    yung tropapips ko nakabili ng battery sa greenhills... siya lang nagkabit, last year yun hanggang ngayon nagagamit niya...

    kung may time kayo, punta kayo dito sa binondo, yung mga stores na nakapaikot sa chinaplaza puro battery tinda, kahit anong battery meron sila basta may dala ka sample...

    Reviving thread.
    Yung epass ko di na rin gumagana. Tumawag ako sa service center, palit agad gusto 1700 daw. Di daw nare-repair!
    Gusto ko sana buksan to pero wala ako makita screws. Naka-clip lang ba to? Pipilitin lang ba buksan?

    my epass is almost 6 yrs na since i got it & i guess pretty soon it gonna konk out. nagtanong ako
    ng battery sa may festival mall, it's 1300 daw. damn expensive so i'm just think may be get a new
    epass replacement. sabi din sa akin ng tindera nga battery, marami na rin cla mga bumili pero mga
    magbabalikan kasi hindi din nagana.

    How many here have replaced battery and it has worked for such a long time ?

    I have stopped using my epass and wondered about this: if I am charged VAT for buying the load, then why am I still being charged VAT for the toll fee everytime I pass the toll booth?

    i saw a diy on how to change the batt. why change it? these batteries could be charged. charge it instead. let an electronics technician design a charger made from parts bought entirely from raon? the parts are; LM317 variable voltage regulator, a couple of electrolytic capacitors, etc.

    a lithuim battery can be charged up to a max of 4.2vdc. it is to be plugged in the cigarette lighter for 2-3hrs. if you forget to unplug it, no harm done. oopppsss, because of this reply, mawawalan ng sales ang mga battery stores. cost of parts p100-p200. cheap, no?
