My Smart Tag (first version) consumes battery as fast as a supercar consumes petrol.

Anyone tried usb rechargeable 9v batteries before? I see Lazada and Shopee sell this brand (Doublepow) and customer's ratings macam good but I never hear this brand before. So convenient if can use microusb to charge instead of big bulky chargers.



But safe onot?

POW POW

when the device eats power fast. it telling you device is faulty.

happen to mine unit, 1 month eat 1 battery cell.
1 battery rm9.50. 10 months....you do the math.

throw away, i get new one. better

pow pow boom!

How much is it with the charger?

i think i seen Gp rechargeable battery 9V but its rare and limited .

Can the battery not explode for the Smart TAG usually sits under a hot windscreen for hours is another matter.

im using rechargeable but brand GP ReCyko+
RM80 get 2 batteries and 1 charger


surprisingly the batt has lasted more than 6 months still strong

still got.

but enigizer a lot.

i still using the old smart tag. battery with duracell lasts about 1 year +. i heard the old smart tag stopped completely with the warrnty and repairs all out liao.

Doublepow= 2x pow.

Sked explodes like (power bank case) if long time in the car.

Sekian.

yup warranty support already ended last month. u still can use it until spoilt just cant repair anymore.


imo battery lasting depends on the unit itself. some bad quality unit probably short circuit or something that makes batt out very fast.

you can get this one..



already available locally.. but its pricey... ~rm400... can fit any car ...

ohh that things . i been thinking to get one but gov said were going rfid and get free so buying it will not benefit me.

I am using energizer battery for 1st gen smart tag (fat) and able to use up to 1 or 2 years

maybe your device is in faulty condition?

Other battery tend to dead very fast except energizer battery

free? waitlonglong.com

Eng. can help by converting the supply from the cigarette heater to supply TnG..

Same for my case.. 1st gen device as well..
Only Energizer can tahan years... others within months start beeping already.

When will roll out the RFID tag?

No battery so less hassle.

can beep more than 3 months

im using Tesco brand battery also can last 1yr plus. my dad's one 3month start beeping ord, also using the same Tesco battery.

I have a 5V to 9V converter plugged straight to the SmartTag from the USB output.

thats why i say depends on the unit itself. some really makan battery some tahan long.

Use ikea alkalisk, the most bang for your buck.

Haha wasted if throw away and get new one. The new one's shape not ergonomic and mine has screen issues, can't see the balance of touch and go.

RM30+ only, no need to buy charger coz there's a MicroUSB input. Seriously worth if it lasts.

Yeah was looking at OKCELL along with Doublepow coz that's what I can find online.

Yeah, they announced they discontinued the support for the old smart tag haih

Hmm my battery lasts around 1 - 1.5 months every time I buy a a normal RM10 - RM15 battery. Really high maintenance. Need to do some calculations first because if RM30+ for the Doublepow can last for 2-3 years, it's superbly worth it.

old smarttag is rather good.

ya should wait for the rfid.

bro how to make this works?

My second gen smart tag only can use Energizer, if use eveready or panasonic few weeks usage already kong, energizer last me around 9-12month

same here. i usually use energizer battery, last more than a year

mine can last one month only! zzz
wondering to get a new smart tag or wait for the new rfid.. when is it coming???

or you can DIY

We should renamed as Assholecard. To pay toll but have to pay this nuisance also.

Thanks, this is the best answer!

And one of this:

Just make sure the polarity is correct and you can remove the battery and plug this in to the smart tag.

Dangling cables, though. Need to tie them up neatly.

my fat smart tag eat 1 battery every 2-3 years.. definitely not every month once though..

Then you can continue using it.

beli kat ikea jer.. rm5 kawtim.. last me more than 1.5year... I use tol lane everyday.. pass through 6 tols everyday... okay jer my battery..

mine on is the fat one.

eat battery every 2 months.

faulty ? usually use tescogot battery je.

nice. so how do you make that small hole in the smart tag to make sure the cable can go out?

Used it before

Poor quality

It's very light

You drop it, it's dead

Received one with signs of being dropped during shipping - arrived dead.

I suppose they could put more lithium ion inside, but then it would really put it's name to fame

You using pasar malam battery is it?

Bila ya?

Cannot use for device with battery indicators. Once voltage drops to a certain level, the better with shut off the circuits and the device using it will not have power.

if u have a battery powered drill, it would be easier.


altenatively you can sacrifice a solder iron to poke thru.


if u dont mind doing it the hard but safe way, get a round file

Nope, used Energizer and it lasted the longest (same as what everyone says). But that is only like 1.5 months. Tried others also like Duracell and Mr DIY/Daiso, only lasted for 3-4 weeks.

bro your DIY skill

Device faulty

Try Panasonic alkaline, usually last longer for me.

However, my SmartTag's LCD has been dead for ages and I can't find a replacement. Sick of running out of battery too, hence the USB powered SmartTag now.

Not too hard, actually. Just need to be familiar with voltage levels and polarity.

mine also dead long time ago, dont bother to diy liao.

Your SmartTag is faulty. Perhaps one components is dying. If normal battery can last 1 month, rechargeable battery can last less than 2 weeks. Not good choice. I'd rather go for 12V to 9V adapter.
