Whether shopping, watching a movie, catching a flight, or traveling on business, running low on battery often causes anxiety. Shared power bank rental services have emerged to help users quickly solve charging problems in public places. So, how can you smoothly rent and return a power bank? Here’s a detailed guide.

1. How to Rent a Power Bank?

1. Locate a Power Bank Station
Shared power bank cabinets are commonly found in shopping malls, restaurants, airports, train stations, subways, cinemas, and hospitals. The cabinets are eye-catching, usually printed with the brand’s logo and a large QR code for easy identification.

2. Scan QR Code and Register/Login
Open the scan function on your phone and scan the QR code on the cabinet. The page will redirect you to the brand’s mini program or H5 interface.

• First-time users: Need to authorize login (enter phone number and verification code). Some platforms may also require Sesame Credit authorization.

• Returning users: Simply scan the code to quickly enter the rental process.

3. Collect the Power Bank
Once authorization is complete, the cabinet will light up or emit a prompt sound, indicating which slot will release the power bank. After a “click” sound, the power bank will pop out. Some cabinets open a compartment for manual retrieval.

4. Start Charging
Shared power banks are equipped with 3-in-1 charging cables (Lightning, Type-C, Micro-USB), so you don’t need to carry extra cables. Just plug in and charge anytime.

2. How to Return a Power Bank?

Renting is easy, and so is returning — but pay attention to these steps:

1. Find a Cabinet of the Same Brand
Cross-brand returns are not supported. For example, a “Jiedian” power bank must be returned to a “Jiedian” station, and a “Laidian” power bank to a “Laidian” station. It does not have to be the original cabinet, but it must be the same brand.

2. Insert the Power Bank
Insert the power bank into an empty slot and neatly place the cable. Push it in until you hear a “click” or see the message “Return Successful.”

3. Confirm Successful Return
This is crucial! Wait until the cabinet screen or app confirms the return, and check your Alipay/WeChat order status. If no confirmation appears, refresh the page. Do not leave before confirmation.

4. Payment
After the return, the system will automatically deduct the fee. Most platforms charge hourly, and the final cost will be settled automatically through Alipay or WeChat.

Shared power banks not only relieve “low battery anxiety” but also drive the intelligent upgrade of public services. For businesses, these cabinets can increase foot traffic and improve customer experience.
