1. Is the $30 price a one-time fee? Any monthly, annual, or renewal fees?

2. Any additional fees to add other cars?

3. Does the transponder require maintenance (batteries, charging, etc.)?

4. How long does the transponder last normally? Is there a warranty?

I trust the answers from TV residents more than my Google searches, so thanks in advance!
#1 yes
#2 no
#3 no
#4 Not sure of the lifetime, no warranty that I am aware of.

Additional info:
You can create an account on Sun Pass website and link to a bank or credit card account. I have mine setup to keep a $25 minimum balance, this way there are always funds to cover charges.
Also as I recall you need to enter vehicle and plate information, we currently have 2 vehicles in the system, and you can have multiple transponders in the system, so we have 2 transponders 1 in each car and therefore we do not need to remember to grab the transponder.
The newest transponders also work on several other states system, the website I think has the specific info.
