Introduction

The Telepass is an essential tool for many motorists who want to avoid long queues at motorway toll booths and pay tolls quickly and conveniently. However, like any electronic device, the Telepass also requires regular maintenance to function properly. One of the most crucial aspects to consider is the Telepass battery . A dead battery can cause significant problems, such as failure to pay tolls or failure to open motorway barriers. In this guide, we will explore how to know when your Telepass battery needs replacing, how to proceed with the replacement safely and easily, and what measures to take to keep the battery efficient for as long as possible.

When is it necessary to replace the Telepass battery?

Signs that indicate a low battery

Knowing when your Telepass battery is running low is essential to avoid inconveniences during your journeys. The most common signs of a low battery include a series of beeps emitted by the device. If you hear three high-pitched tones , it is a clear sign that the battery is almost flat and needs to be changed. Other signs may include a repeated low-pitched tone indicating an anomaly during transit; this could mean it is time to check the battery status or replace the device at an authorised centre.

Differences between standard Telepass and rechargeable Telepass

Not all Telepasses are the same. While the standard Telepass does not allow battery replacement—requiring the replacement of the entire device when the battery runs out—the rechargeable Telepass and some subscription models are designed to allow battery replacement. The rechargeable Telepass has a display that shows the battery charge level through notches. When only one notch remains, it is a signal that the battery is about to run out and that it is time to replace it.

Materials needed for replacement

Replacing the rechargeable Telepass battery is a simple operation, but it requires some tools and materials to be done correctly. Here is what you will need:

• A new battery compatible with Telepass : It is important to buy a replacement battery specific to your Telepass model, as the original Telepass device is no longer produced and is no longer marketed by the Autostrade company. This makes it a very versatile option for those who prefer to avoid monthly subscription costs, as it works exclusively with prepaid credit.

• A small Phillips screwdriver : Necessary to open the battery compartment of the device safely and without damaging the Telepass.

Make sure you have all the materials on hand before starting the replacement process to avoid any disruptions and ensure your Telepass continues to function properly without any issues.
