However, often the convenience of using a cellphone is damaged due to small things, such as the condition of a used battery. In fact, cellphones are a vital means of supporting the smooth running of business for modern society of productive age.

This is a business opportunity for one of the Indonesian start-up companies PT Jalan Tetap Saja (ReCharge) to provide application-based power bank rental services.

The machine is generally located in shopping centers, offices, or other crowded places. For consumers who want to borrow a power bank, they can download the application in the recharge station machine.

Payment transactions can be done online or offline. For consumers who borrow, are charged Rp. 10 thousand for 24 hours.

If the time limit expires, a fine will be imposed. Including loss or damage, a fine of Rp. 100,000. The borrowed power bank can be taken anywhere and returned to a different recharge station when borrowing it. "Users don't need to worry about their productivity being disrupted," Dick said through his official statement on Tuesday (10/23).

Rentals using apps on mobile can be downloaded through the Google Play Store for Android users and the App Store for iOS users. Through the application, users can find out the location of the nearest recharge station through the "Search for recharge" feature. After that, the leasing step starts with top-up balances, both cash and non-cash.

The recharge station machine can also be used as a guide or means of information about the situation in which the machine is located.
