Have you ever seen a shared power bank on the street? When your mobile phone is running out of battery and you are in a strange or unfamiliar place, a shared power bank is undoubtedly the best choice. Just find a nearby shared power bank station, scan the QR code to rent, and you can easily get a fully charged power bank to charge your phone.
Unlike traditional power banks that need to be purchased and carried by individuals, shared power banks do not need to be purchased and can be rented when needed, which is convenient and fast. To some extent, this not only reduces the purchase cost but also avoids the waste of resources caused by idle power banks. These shared power banks are usually placed in public places, such as shopping malls, restaurants, transportation hubs and other densely populated areas. This means that no matter where you are, you can easily and quickly find a nearby shared power bank station.
According to the GMI survey, the mobile power market was worth $15.9 billion in 2023, and the compound annual growth rate from 2024 to 2032 is expected to exceed 9.1%. Shared power bank services provide a convenient solution for people to charge their smartphones anytime and anywhere. Shared power banks can be found in restaurants, shopping centers and transportation hubs.
Shared power banks are not only convenient and economical but also fully consider the diversity of charging devices. To ensure compatibility with the vast majority of smartphones and other electronic devices that need to be charged on the market, shared power banks are usually equipped with three interfaces: the commonly used Micro-USB for Android, Type-C, and the Lightning interface for Apple.
- Micro-USB interface
This is the older of the two and is available on most mobile phones released before 2015. It is mostly used in Android phones and is a traditional charging interface type. However, due to the update of charging and data, it has been gradually replaced by the Type-C interface, but it can still be found on many cheap Android devices today.
- Type-C interface:
More and more Android phones are starting to use the Type-C interface. This type of power bank has the advantages of reversible plugging and fast transmission speed and can provide efficient charging and data transmission services for Android phones. It is currently the most mainstream interface.
- Lightning interface:
It has always been an exclusive connector interface for Apple. Since Apple devices have higher power requirements for higher specifications, Apple has also introduced the Type-C interface on iPads and MacBooks.
- Common charging power standards
The three different interfaces of shared power banks correspond to different electronic devices, and the charging power and speed also vary. The power of common slow-charging shared power banks is between 10W and 12W, while that of fast-charging shared power banks can reach 22.5W, 30W or even higher. According to the tests by Innergie , there are indeed significant differences between different interfaces.
Common Charging Power Standards
In addition to being equipped with three different connecting cables, shared power banks also have different capacities according to different markets and actual application scenarios. The battery capacity of shared power banks is generally between 5000mAh and 20000mAh, and the capacity of most power banks is around 10000mAh. We can see that the ranges of 3001mAh – 8000mAh and 8000mAh – 20000mAh have almost become the mainstream ranges of mobile power banks.
Of course, due to the need for frequent charging and discharging of shared power banks, in the balance between capacity and volume, a smaller capacity is generally chosen, and the capacity of most power banks is around 10000mAh to ensure that the power bank can be replenished multiple times a day to support frequent use.
With the dual compatibility of different charging interfaces and capacities, the application range of shared power banks has been greatly expanded, making more charging devices possible. It can be used for almost all kinds of devices with corresponding charging interfaces, including but not limited to:
- Smartphones: Whether it is an iPhone or an Android phone, as long as the interface matches, it can be charged with a shared power bank.
- Tablets: Some tablets can also be charged with a shared power bank, especially those that support fast charging, which also greatly improves the battery life of the tablet.
- Bluetooth earphones, speakers, etc.: The battery capacity of such devices is small, but the usage frequency is high. Shared power banks can quickly charge them.
- Smart watches: As long as the charging interface of well-known brand smart watches such as Apple Watch and Redmi Watch is compatible with the shared power bank, convenient charging can be achieved.
If you use a shared power bank to charge these different devices, taking the 10000mAh shared power bank of the CHEYOLL brand as an example, the approximate charging situation is as follows:
- It can charge a mobile phone with a battery capacity of 3000mAh about 2 times.
- It can charge a mobile phone with a battery capacity of 5000mAh about 1.5 times.
- It can charge a Bluetooth headset with a battery capacity of 200mAh multiple times.
Of course, the capacity and cable interface of the shared power banks we see on the market are not fixed. With the rapid development of the sharing market, different markets and regions will have different usage needs. The customization options of shared power banks will also be adjusted appropriately. According to our understanding of the classification of the leading CHEYOLL brand, they can be roughly divided into two parts:
- Capacity customization: Different capacities of power banks can be customized according to needs.
- Interface customization: Different types of charging interfaces can be customized according to the device type and usage scenario.
- Appearance customization: The appearance of the mobile power bank can be customized, such as color, shape, material, etc., to meet personalized needs.
- Function customization: Some additional functions can be added, such as wireless charging, fast charging, etc., to improve the user experience.
Customization of Scanning and Payment Software:
- Software UI customization: Different cultural UI interfaces can be designed according to different needs to show the brand image.
- Customized payment methods: The payment methods in different regions can be customized and integrated to make the payment process more smooth.
- Customized software functions: Corresponding functions can be developed according to needs, such as coupons, membership systems, points redemption, etc.
