What Are Rentable Power Banks and Are They Available in Metro Manila?

June 3, 2024

An emerging portable technology

Born out of a shared economy and new technology, China successfully introduced the use of rentable power banks in 2014. After seeing the demand for the category, several companies followed suit and enhanced the offering through the innovation of charging stations and expansion to other Asian metro cities like Taipei, Bangkok, Seoul, Tokyo, and Ho Chi Minh.

Designed for charging-on-demand and engineered to elevate new-gen lifestyles, rentable power banks are convenient, accessible, and easily available, especially for young adults with heightened screen use. Found in city locators such as cafes and restaurants, shopping malls, theme parks, convenience stores, hospitals, universities, and entertainment facilities, this fast-charging and easy-to-use rentable technology is usually integrated with a mobile app that lets users pay and locate the nearest station with just a tap.
