Dunno about other etags, but the wife's etag has a Saft 3.6V lithium battery.are etags "active" if so the batteries must be good to last so long in
that environment and temperatures on glass inside windscreens.
if they are passive where do they get the beep

thanks
The tolling companies replace the etags when the batteries go flat.are etags "active" if so the batteries must be good to last so long in

They most likely use the 120degC rated Lithium-thionyl chloride cells.On Jan 19, 9:51 pm, dmm <dmmilne_REMO...@ozemail.com.au> wrote:

from the pic supplied from bobs link, those batteries (in RAM backup
applications) I have found
will last 20 years (measured full terminal voltage when replaced).
Depending on the transmission
power, and how often, as well as the sounder and how often its
activated, a long life is quite viable.
I didnt think any battery would cope well with the temperatures
involved, especially when placed at the highest (hottest) point in the
car (upper windscreen)

I've used (and thermal cycled) them in operating apps from 0degC to
80+degC (ironically in two of the listed apps - sonarbuoys and oil
exploration), they are remarkably durable.
