Shared Power Bank Manufacturers

In this guide, we break down the full range of power bank suppliers including models, pricing, and more.

It’s important to remember that the key to success in the power bank industry is finding good locations.

Therefore, you should pick a manufacturer that will not only supply you with good machines, but also assist you

in understanding where to place your power banks.

We have tested over a dozen suppliers, with different battery quality, designs, and services. All of these suppliers

have the required safety standards and certificates.

If you have questions about starting a power bank rental company, feel free to reach out to s for a full product

catalog from any of these suppliers.

The Hardware

This power bank station is easily recognizable due to its singular

design which resembles an Apple device. Chargers Direct also

provides a fully customizable screen, battery and even the hardware

itself is branded for each client.

The user experience is purely ‘tap and go’ with card or phone tap.

This means no QR code and no app is needed by the user. Bank cards,

Apple Pay, Google Pay are all accepted. The battery is 7800 mAh and

can be charged over 1000 times before replacement.

Finally, the screen is static, not LCD, which minimizes electricity

usage in the venue (sometimes a concern for bar and restaurant

owners).

Finally, as a power bank machine with a distinctive design, Chargers Direct is one of the few suppliers that has prioritized

design over ease of manufacturing.

price for this service varies between suppliers from $20 per machine annually ($20,000 if you have 1000 power

bank machines) or a one time fee of $5000 USD. Chargers Direct has a flat fee of $800 USD annually for all

software support, for an unlimited number of machines.

STW is one of the oldest power bank suppliers, established in 2008.

consider STW. However STW does not provide exclusivity and doesn’t

assist its clients in finding good locations.

STW provides several models including one for small venues, a vertical

station for outdoor locations, and digital signage stations. STW power bank stations are relatively compact which are suitable

for counter top bars and tables. Battery color is either black or white but customization is possible for $20 extra per machine.

inchLCS screen which can play advertizing at specific locations. However, STW’s battery is relatively low quality (5000 mAH)

compared to others in the market.

The Software

STW charges a one time fee of $4500 USD to develop the app that is

needed by consumers to access STW’s power banks. This is actually

better than many other suppliers because its a one time payment

not annual. STW also provides a backend view via a web link for you

to manage all data including orders, the status of stations, and

batteries.

STW provides an 18 month warranty for all of its products which is above average in the market. As mentioned it also charges

and access to the back end management system.

Baijie Charging is another major supplier. Although Baijie has a high quality battery, it is a relatively expensive supplier with

software fees costing up to $20,000 per year (if 1000 stations are ordered). A typical Baijie station costs $270 USD per

machine, excluding the cost of the card payment reader. If you would like to see client case studies from Baijie Charging,

Baijie has several models and originally focused on the QR code version (pictured

here) which is difficult to offer consumers outside of Asia. The strength of Baijie

is its battery (6000mAh). Battery color is available in either green or black.

However a higher quality battery is also heavier. The weight of the station is

10kg which means freight costs will be higher than other suppliers.

The Software

Every shared power bank station has a backend system which is used to monitor

the status and performance of the power bank machines. Baijie charges $1000USD

annually per 100 stations. If you would like to see examples of the Baijie software

and backend feel free to contact us with via the contact form below.

Baijie doesn’t assist it’s clients in identifying good locations

for shared power bank stations. However, Baijie does provide

a one year warranty for its products which is standard for all

suppliers. Remember, understanding which locations are

effective for power banks is more important than choosing a

supplier

performance of all power bank stations. provides good technical assistance and it’s backend management system allows

adjusted based on location type, session length and usage time.
