PS. THIS TO UR MIGHT BE A OLD/STUPID IDEA. BUT TO MANI IT MAYB NEW N TECHFUL.. SO LEAVE ALL THE NEGATIVE COMMENT TO URSELF.. POSITIVE COMMENT ARE WELCOME. :grin:

[mr hat]

hey elton... will the IU be "underpowered" if 9v is applied instead of the usual 12v?

 

seems like a cool idea. i din noe it can work on battery. always tot i haf to use 9v in series with 2 x 1.5v battery then can work.

[hachi]

Cool idea but how long does it last....

IF 1 month or so I going to do that soon....

[lthongs]

haha it actually depends on how feaquent u use.. n pls rmb to disconnect ur crocodiles clips from ur iu after use.. to prolong battery life.... it would be ok 9v... but the battery if everyday use one sure of cos cant last to 1mth.. this is for pple like me.. like touch town onces a week or onces a mth... n dont want the iu hanging there... pls pls rmb to disconnect after use yar.. cheers

[compfused]

Thanks for sharin..But if you put in bag then forgot to take out cash card and walk under/near an ERP gantry will it deuct from cashcard? Or take out cashcard but still on..Then walk under/near ERP gantry will it detect and send you letter?

[lthongs]

??? dont quite catch wad u mean... do u mean tat if u put this in ur bag.. without connecting then forget to take out then go pass the gantry wad will happen.. erm.... normally can detect one... then will think they will sent the letter as forget to put card or iu faulty.. even if u no iu on ur bike but u go in to these area.. they have vid cams behind the gantry to show who went thru without iu etc...

[ZzGaNgStErzZ]

Where do you walk? How can you cross under the gantry unless you walk sideways

 

The best solution we should not use our bikes in Singapore when the ERP is in operation. Take public transport. The government is encouraging it... we have to follow.

Take note peeps, i have been using 9V battery for my IU since i gotten my bike because i hardly use it. So i only bring it out when i know i need it(i always plan my journey).

 

From my experience, the 9V battery cannot last continous usage, which means you must disconnect the power as soon as you past the gantry, if not the battery will drain super fast. It probably will not last you through more than 10times of passing through the gantry. Each battery is about $2.00, divide by 10 is $0.20 each time you use to past the gantry. This is my rough estimation because i hardly use my IU, probably less than 5times in 2years of riding current bike. Bottomline is, it will drain the 9V battery.

 

My advise : Do not use 9V battery if you use your IU frequently! Stay with your own bike power supply, make a reconnectable plug yourself and tap power from your own bike.

[Guest GuiNNeSS]

Great idea! Thanks for sharing. Been thinking about this for ages.

[SimplyMe]

i share something with you also here, about IU unit.

 

Do not disconnect from the power source for too long, once its disconnected from the power source, the IU run on internal battery, not for operation but for its memory, you might not noticed but once the internal battery run out, your IU unit can throw liao, because LTA don't offer reprogramming of IU.

 

Don't have to ask me how i know. ;pp
