How It Works

Rent. Charge. Return.

Rent a portable phone charger at a ChargeUP station in a few simple steps. You do not need the app to start a rental.

01

Tap or scan

Tap your card or phone at the station, or scan the QR code. The station shows the applicable price before you confirm.

02

Grab and charge

A charged 8,000mAh power bank releases after payment confirmation. Built-in Lightning and USB-C cables let you connect without carrying your own cable.

03

Return across the network

Insert the power bank into an available slot at any ChargeUP station within the rental window that applies to your rental. Follow the station instructions to complete the return.

What You Carry
