Problem
Mobile device users often experience battery drain while away from power outlets, leading to anxiety and inconvenience. Traditional charging solutions require users to carry their own power banks and cables, which can be easily forgotten or misplaced.

Users can rent a pre-charged power bank over the counter without needing an app or prior registration, use it to charge their devices on the go, and return it to any Chimpy station within the network. This service offers a convenient and accessible charging solution, eliminating the need to purchase and carry personal charging equipment. Chimpy also offers an unlimited pass for festivals.
