Why Is Power Bank Sharing a Thing?

Ever wondered why powerbank sharing is a thing and whether it should even exist? Let's delve into the importance of these questions to gain a deeper understanding of the concept of powerbank sharing

In the context of the sharing economy, which utilizes the internet and big data to facilitate the sharing of goods and services, powerbank sharing fits in by making use of underutilized resources. Powerbanks (portable chargers) are often owned by individuals but are not constantly used. Powerbank sharing allows these devices to be shared with others, making them more accessible and affordable for consumers to use temporarily and only when they need it.

By embracing powerbank sharing (or any kind of sharing), individuals can benefit from using these devices without the need to purchase one for themselves. It also contributes to a more sustainable approach to resource utilization by maximizing the usage of existing powerbanks. It provides convenience and flexibility for users who need a quick and convenient way to charge their devices while on the go. It offers an alternative solution to battery anxiety and allows individuals to stay connected without worrying about running out of battery power.

For powerbank sharing in particular this means renting a powerbank from a station in order to charge your device, for the most part, your mobile phone. The user can then bring the power bank with them and when they’re fully charged return it to the same station or a different station for someone else to rent a bit later. From a sharing perspective, it’s like several people sharing one powerbank instead of each of them buying their own.

It's not always needed, but it's a service that provides emergency chargers for those who need them. Trust us when we say that the majority of people do! When they find those stations, they know that can rely on some extra juice when needed.Take a Brick powerbank out on a hike with your dog

Why should a venue have powerbank stations?
Venues, such as bars, restaurants, clubs, gyms, and shopping malls, can benefit from having a power bank sharing station in their establishment:
- The customer can charge their phone without having to leave it.
- Customers can charge their phones without leaving them unattended, ensuring a safer experience. 
- They can enjoy their time at the venue without worrying about their devices being lost or stolen. 
- The staff can focus on their tasks and refer to the station for charging
- Venue staff can focus on their tasks and responsibilities without the added burden of being responsible for customers' devices. This improves efficiency and allows staff to provide better service.
