Power bank vending machines: how they work
A power bank vending machine hands you a portable charger when you tap a card and takes it back when you are done. No staff, no queue, no app.
What the machine does
It authorises payment, opens a slot and releases a power bank with built-in cables. On return it detects the locked unit, closes the charge and recharges it for the next user.
Every machine is monitored online, so we see free units in real time and restock before a location runs dry.
Rental without an app
Most rental services require an app download and a QR scan — useless when your phone is already dead. Here you tap a credit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
The whole process takes about five seconds: no signup, no subscription, no forms.
Price and deposit
15₪ for the first hour with a 30₪ cap per rental day. A 70₪ deposit is authorised on the card and released on return.
No subscription and no cable fee — you pay only for the time you use.
Where they are and where to return
Cafes, restaurants, bars, malls, hotels, coworking spaces, clinics, gyms and IKEA stores nationwide.
Return to any free machine in the network, including in another city.
