Shared power bank stations, specified before they are ordered.
Six families and twelve builds from 5 to 48 slots, 6000 mAh packs, the rental software and the payment setup. One desk from the slot count to the first settlement.
Six families, twelve builds
The format follows the site, not the other way round. Every build uses the same 6000 mAh pack and the same rental software.
5 slot plug-in and 6 slot card units for a till, a bar top or a waiting area.
5 or 6 slotsVolumeFloor standing stations8 and 12 bays for a restaurant queue, with 36 W output on the 8 slot build.

6 or 24 slotsFour decisions that decide the outcome
Three of them are cheaper to change before the order than after the cabinet lands.
A site with 400 visitors a day but 60 of them in one hour needs more returns than a site with 900 spread evenly. Count the crowd at the door on the worst night of the week.
Decides the slot countFixed rent, revenue share or a fee per pack. The contract moves the payback date more than the cabinet does, and it is the part most first time operators sign without reading.
Decides the paybackA card terminal, a QR code or a wallet app. The payment method is a property of the market, not of the station, and it decides which terminal ships with the cabinet.
Decides the terminalA station needs cleaning, pack top-ups and a fault report. Name the person who visits it on a Monday morning before you order twenty cabinets.
Decides whether it worksSlots against the site
A starting point from the routes we quote for. The real number comes from the door that has the queue.
| Site | Starting slots | What it suits | What to watch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cafe, bar, salon, small gym | 5 to 8 | One counter, low turnaround, staff hand over the pack | Counter space and one spare socket |
| Restaurant or food court with a queue | 8 to 12 | Guests waiting 20 minutes or more with a phone at 20 percent | Who restocks at close |
| Cinema lobby, mall corridor | 24 | Footfall without seating, several returns per hour | Circuit capacity and cabinet depth |
| Mall entrance, hospital, airport | 32 to 48 | The peak hour is more than one cabinet can return | Service route and restocking |
| Festival, exhibition, pop-up | 8 or 12 stackable | No fixed power, everything moves on Monday | Transport, staffing, deposits |
| Unattended corridor | 6 card kiosk | No staff to help a guest install an app | Payment terminal and cleaning route |
Two stations of 8 often beat one cabinet of 24: they put a return within walking distance of two queues, and a failed unit takes half the capacity instead of all of it.
A station is a route, not a box.
The hardware is the easy half. What decides whether a route earns is how far a guest walks to return a pack, who swaps the flat ones, and how fast a failed slot is reported to the person who can fix it.
We quote the cabinet, the packs, the software and the terminal as one configuration, because buying them separately is how a route ends up with a cabinet nobody can settle.
- Slot
- One bay that holds one pack and charges it
- Return
- A pack handed back into any station on the network
- Concurrent borrowers
- Guests holding a pack at the same moment
- Turn
- One full rental cycle, from release to return
- Route
- The stations one operator visits on one round
From enquiry to first settlement
Six steps. A single station for a trial and a route of forty follow the same sequence.
- 01Site and slot count
Venue type, the busiest hour, how many guests are in the room at that hour. A photo of the counter or the wall says more than a paragraph.
- 02Written configuration
A build, a slot count, the pack and the terminal, with the specification sheet for each line item and the spare parts list.
- 03Payment and pricing
Card, QR or wallet, the tariff ladder and who settles. Agreed before the cabinet is ordered, not after it lands.
- 04Documents and shipping
Commercial invoice, packing list and the certificate files the destination broker asks for, in the names that broker expects.
- 05Install and name the owner
Power, network, floor or counter space, and one person who owns the route before the first guest rents a pack.
- 06First month review
Returns per day, failed returns, packs swapped. The slot count is confirmed or changed with a month of real numbers.
What we publish, what we quote
A supplier page that answers every number is usually inventing some of them.
| Item | On this site | From us |
|---|---|---|
| Station specifications | Format, slot count, screen size, pack capacity | Current specification sheet, revision dated |
| Price | Not published | Quoted per build, quantity and destination |
| Certificates | Not published | File list per market, supplied with the quotation |
| Plant size, installed base, country count | Not published and not claimed | Answers about your market, not about our scale |
| Lead time and warranty | Not published | Confirmed against the order and the route |
A supplier that prints a factory number it cannot document is telling you how it will handle a warranty claim.
Before you ask, four answers
Do you build the stations yourselves?
No. We supply, specify and support them, and the units come from manufacturing partners. Say so to any supplier you talk to: a buyer who needs a factory audit should be talking to a factory, and a buyer who needs a route that settles on day one should be talking to a supplier.
What is the smallest order?
One station. A trial on a single site is the normal way to start, and the second order covers the rest of the route once the returns are real rather than projected.
Can the station take cards in my country?
It depends on the acquirer and on the terminal certified for that market. Send the country and the currency: the reply lists terminal options, not a promise.
What happens when a pack fails?
The route has to absorb it, with spare packs, a swap routine and a fault log the software keeps. Ask any supplier what their RMA looks like before ordering twenty cabinets.
Start with the door, not the brochure.
Send the venue, the busiest hour and the market you sell into. The reply is a build, a slot count and the sheet to check it against.
